The Reserve Bank of South Africa has put into circulation since the beginning of the year the Fourth Series of Decimal Coins of legal tender in South Africa.

Apart from the design, one of the great novelties of the new series is that the word "South Africa" appears on one side of the coins and will be minted in all official languages.

The coins are minted using a rotation system in which all the official languages will appear during a certain period. For the next ten years, the languages will alternate annually.

The following number of languages of the different varieties of coins will be minted:

R5: Three languages will be used.
R2, 50c and 10c two languages will be used.
R1: only one language will be used.

Old and new series

One of the most notable changes is that of the 5 rand bimetallic coin, which abandons the emblematic buffalo as the main animal and replaces it with the southern right whale.

The 2 rand coin has replaced the kudu with the springbuck and changes the edges to give it a more rhomboid shape.

The 1 rand coin replaces the antelope with South Africa's official flower, the protea, and has a new pentagonal border.

The 50 cent coin abandons the sterlicia, known as the bird of paradise, for a real bird, the turaco. This coin has also adopted a hexagonal edge, cutting back on the nine-sided shape it had before.

The 20 cent coin is for another plant, the aloe. Its edge has also stopped being a nonagon and is now a heptagon.

South Africa's smallest coin, 10 cents, says goodbye to the lily and makes way for the bee. Its edge is now an octagon.

The R5 coin maintains its bimetallic alloy, while the R2 and R1 are made of nickel-plated steel. The 50 and 20 cent coins are made of bronze-plated steel, and the 10 cent coins are made of copper-plated steel.

O nouă monedă comemorativă din Africa de Sud - 01.07.2021 - VIDEO

Today, June 30, a commemorative 5 rand (0.29 euro) coin, of the bimetallic type, has been put into circulation in South Africa to celebrate the "Centenary of the Reserve Bank of South Africa". Founded on June 30, 1921, it is one of the oldest outside Europe. Unlike many central banks, this one is not directly controlled by the government. Its initial function was to be the sole institution responsible for issuing banknotes and storing gold.

Before this, commercial banks could issue banknotes, but they had to exchange them for gold on demand. This caused problems when speculators realized that they could exchange banknotes for gold in South Africa, and then sell the gold abroad, where the price of gold was higher. As banks were required to hold gold to back their banknotes, banks had to buy gold abroad, losing money on transactions.

Today, the Reserve Bank of South Africa serves multiple functions beyond issuing cash. It provides some banking services to the central government. It also oversees the movement of government money between different banks. Another function of the bank is to collect, interpret and publish economic data.

The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) opened its doors on June 30, 1921 and is the oldest central bank in Africa. The Republic of South Africa was created in May 1961, the same year that South Africa left the Commonwealth and changed its currency from pounds, shillings and pence to a decimal system of 100 cents, one rand. Since then, the coin has undergone major design and technological changes. These design changes reflect the most important historical moments of South Africa, and we can see them in the coins represented on this new currency.

The design of the coin takes us on a journey back in time through some of the most iconic coins issued in South Africa. From one of the first pieces to tour the country to a 5 rand piece that pays tribute to Nelson Mandela himself. These are the six pieces shown:

3 pence from 1923

The 1923 three pence represent
the currency issued during
the Union of South Africa period, prior to
decimalization, which consisted of
pounds, shillings, and pence. Under this
system, there were 12 pence in a shilling
and 20 shillings in a pound.

1 gold rand

The 1 rand gold coin from 1961 features the gazelle. This currency represents the introduction of the rand as an official currency issued after South Africa became a Republic on May 31, 1961. The currency was part of the first series of decimal coins. The gazelle has appeared on numerous coins and is especially recognized as the design on the reverse of the world famous bullion-type coin, the Krugerrand. The gazelle (springbok) is the national animal of South Africa.

20 cents 1965

The 1965 20 cent coin represents the royal protea, the national flower of South Africa. The coin was part of the second series of coins of the decimal type.

1 cent from 1990

The 1990 1 cent coin with two sparrows represents the third set of decimal coins. The two sparrows first appeared on the quarter penny in 1923 and, until 2002, on the smallest coin in the South African series.

2008 rand 5 for Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday

The 5 rand coin minted in 2008 was minted in honor of former President Nelson Mandela for his 90th birthday. It is included in the design of the new coin as a unifying piece and to highlight the immense contribution that Mandela made to the history of South Africa.

Current 10 cent coin

The last coin depicted in the commemorative rand 5 coin is a 10 cent piece from the forthcoming fourth decimal series. This coin represents the Cape bee, or South African bee, and represents the future of the coin and of the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) itself.

Safety features

Coin obverse

The obverse represents the national coat of arms, the year of issue, "2021" and "South Africa" written in two of the eleven official languages. Since 1996, all South African currencies carry the different official languages of the country on a rotating basis.

🪓🪓Securile de luptă sud-africane, de tipul Marutse – Mambunda, au fost donate muzeului de către exploratorul ceh Emil Holub în octombrie 1894, acesta menționând în donația sa și câteva informații legate de cele două exponate de factură exotică. Armele sunt descrise ca fiind securi de luptă, în condițiile în care lamele de formă triunghiulară erau alungite și mult mai subțiri decât cele utilizate la activități cotidiene. Lamele erau fixate într-un cap de lemn, de formă bombată, existent în partea superioară a mânerului. Mânerele erau relativ scurte și realizate din lemn de bauhinia. Acest tip de securi era destul de răspândit în zona central – sudică a continentului african, piese de această factură fiind indentificate și în extremitatea sud-estică a continentului, pe teritoriul actualu lui stat Eswatini, fost Swaziland.
👨‍🦲Emil Holub (1847 – 1902) a efectuat în a doua jumătate a sec. al XIX-lea mai multe expediții în arealul sud-african, întorcându-se în Europa cu numeroase bunuri de factură exotică, expuse și apoi donate unor importante instituții muzeale austro-ungare. În anul 1881 Holub a devenit membru de onoare al Societății de Științe Naturale din Timișoara, iar în anii 1882 și 1887, la invitația Societății a susținut o serie de conferințe la Timișoara, primite cu entuziasm de publicul bănățeam. Banii strânși de la ultimele conferințe timișorene au fost folosiți la organizarea unei mari expoziții africane la Viena în anul 1892. Drept mulțumire pentru ajutorul acordat, Holub a donat muzeului timișorean o colecție de exponate etnografice și biologice africane, formată din 140 piese.
🪓🪓Piesele din imagine aparțin Colecției de Arme a Secției de Istorie MNaB și pot fi văzute pe parcursul lunii octombrie, la etajul 1 al Bastionului Maria Theresia, de marți până duminică, în intervalul orar 10,00 – 18,00.
