South Africa, home of the Kruger rand that is the most widely held and actively traded bullion coin worldwide, issued a new set of collectible coins commemorating 25 years of democracy.
The series consists of five new 2-rand ($0.14) coins and a 5-rand coin, and will be released during the next few months, the South African Reserve Bank said on Wednesday. The coins were produced by the South African Mint and are the first to be designed with input from the public, which helped develop themes that include children’s, environmental and educational rights.
