2018 NR Mandela Centenary 1918 \u2013 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2018 marks 100 years since the birth of Nelson Mandela and we are proud to honour his legacy with a new coin range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new coins are the second installation in the \u201cCelebrating South Africa\u201d theme, through which we celebrate milestones and symbols of South Africa\u2019s freedom, democracy and culture. The first coin series in this theme was the 2017 OR Tambo Centenary range (see 2017 coin range).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each meticulously crafted coin allows us to look back at the remarkable stages of Mandela\u2019s life, and his struggle for justice, human rights, and a free and democratic South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
