Mandela 90th Birthday R5 - Mint State MS 66
On July 18 2008, Nelson Mandela turned 90 years old. It was a time of great celebration in South Africa. The SA Mint followed suit with the minting of a R5 coin with Mandela’s image, and “90 years” on the reverse, following on the popularity of the 2000 ‘Smiley’ R5.
Celebrate the greatest, most loved, extraordinary and inspiring man South Africa and the world has ever known with a highly collectable and valuable piece of history.
These graded mint state coins commemorate Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday and have reached extraordinary popularity amongst South Africans and people from around the world as he achieved more than could be expected of any man.
