Protea Peace Prize Winners

The Protea series commemorates various aspects and important events in the history of South Africa.  In 2005, a theme celebrating the "Nobel Peace Prize Winners of South Africa" commenced with Chief Albert Luthuli as the first of South Africa's Nobel Peace Prize winners.  Archbishop Desmond Tutu was featured on the 2006 Protea coins and the joint Nobel Peace Prize winners, Mr Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela and Mr Frederik Willem de Klerk will complete this theme in 2007.  An extra 1/10oz gold coin and silver R1 coin will be added to the set, allowing both winners to feature separately.  Therefore the series will consist of 5 coins in 2007.
