2000 R5 COIN PROOF-LIKE Partial Frosting NELSON MANDELA OBVERSE 17 MAY 2007 SA MINT GALA EVENING ATTENDEE ISSUE R 5 Metal: Nickel Plated Copper Weight: 7.00grams Diameter:26.00mm Maximum Mintage: NGC was not able to obtain an exact mintage figure for the Proof 2000 Mandela coins, but according to the mint records we were able to verify the following: over 5.2 million circulation issue Mandela coins were issued in 2000. In 2003 the South African Mint took the 2000-dated Mandela 5 Rand dies and put them back into production to strike over 1.024 million more Mandela coins that were released into circulation. An additional 40,000 Mandela coins were produced using the Proof dies on what the South African Mint termed a andldquo;continuousandrdquo; minting press, instead of a andldquo;Proofandrdquo; coin press. Of the 40,000 coins struck from Proof dies, 25,000 were issued in special sets and were called andldquo;Proof-like.andrdquo; The coins were issued again in 2008 with the ones included in the Mandela 90th birthday two-coin set again issued as andldquo;Proof-like.andrdquo; Source NGC Community Forum Numismatic Guaranty Corporation generic images | ||||||||
