Description

The listing, South African R5 - coin (2004) has ended.

This coin is a R5-coin (South African Five Rand) - year 2004 - The year in which it was launched

A bit of the history:
The South African Reserve Bank has launched this coin - a bi-metal R5 coin with added security features in a bid to outsmart counterfeiters

The coin, which came into circulation from 2 August 2004, has distinct security features "which will make it easier for the public to distinguish between good coins and counterfeit coins"

The coin sports a silver-coloured border with a bronze-coloured centre, and is thicker and heavier than the other existing coins.

Cool, do you have any other African coinage?

May 21st, 2010 at 4:06:50 PM PDT by

Yes, I've got a R5, R2, R1, 50c, 20c, 10c and 5c coin. Will list them soon!(The 2c & 1c coins are not in circulation anymore - the metal is worth more than the actual value...) Are you from Rhodesia(Zim...) living now in the USA?
