Coin Description

From 26 to 28 April 1994, South Africa came to a halt as the entire nation flocked to the polling stations to determine their country's future. On Tuesday 10 May 1994, more than 2 000 million television viewers across the world watched as President Nelson R Mandela took his Oath of Office at the Union Buildings in Pretoria. The sun rose and set over a country in Africa where the impossible had become a reality. A former political prisoner became president, while South Africans from opposing political camps together formed the Government of National Unity.

The transition to a democratic South Africa is portrayed on the R25, 1 oz pure gold coin. A portrait of former President Nelson R Mandela with the Union Buildings in the background is depicted together with the years "1994 - 2004" and the denomination "R25". The side view of Nelson R Mandela looking out of the barred window of his cell at Robben Island completes the design.
