From time to time, the South African Mint issues commemorative designs in the denomination, to mark special occasions.
This coin was issued as part of the 2018 Celebrating South Africa coin series, which celebrates milestones and symbols of South Africa’s freedom, democracy and culture. The first coin series in this theme was the 2017 OR Tambo Centenary range; this one marks 100 years since the birth of Nelson Mandela.
The coins of the 2018 series - of which this circulating commemorative Five Rand coin is central - look back at the remarkable stages of Mandela’s life, and his struggle for justice, human rights, and a free and democratic South Africa.
