The silver R1 series is one of South Africa's most interesting and longest-running coin series. After the introduction of the nickel R1 in 1977, the silver R1 continued to be minted, mostly in proof form, and often featuring beautiful commemorative designs.
The year 1991 saw the introduction of the Protea R1 series, which continues to this day. The Protea series coins are sterling silver (0.925), and has a silver content of 13.875gm, up from the 12.00gm of the prior years.
The 1998 issue is in celebration of the Year of the Child, boasting a beautiful reverse design depicting "Life's puzzle" for South African children.
Low mintage of only 1,999 proof coins.
