Beautiful 1994 Mint Coin Set featuring the Cape Sparrow

- only 6 786 sets were minted -

~ a very significant year - the first year of South Africa's new democracy ~

 
 
During the Anglo–Boer War (1899-1902) a group of women in the Bethulie concentration camp adopted the following Bible text as their motto for survival:
 
Matthew 10:29: “Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing and one of them shall
not fall to the ground without your Father knowing it?”
 
These women vowed that if ever South Africa issued a farthing (1/4 penny), ha’penny or a cent they would aspire to have the sparrow – their symbol of faith and hope – depicted on the coin. With the support of Mrs Steyn, widow of the late President of the Orange Free
State, the women honoured their vow and since 1923 the sparrow has been portrayed on South Africa’s lowest denomination.
