The Nelson Mandela Commemorative R5 Coin Set combines two circulation coins which are both significant in terms of South Africa's history and numismatic tradition
In keeping with South Africa's numismatic tradition , the outgoing President is depicted on the obverse of the highest denomination circulation coin a year after he left office. Therefore in the year 2000, former President Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was featured
The 2000 R5 featured a smiling Nelson Mandela wearing his iconic "Madiba" Shirt .This informal depiction of a head of state differred from the norm. The coin captures the character of Nelson Mandela.
