Interesting fact
The 1968 South African 1 Cent coin featuring Charles Swart and the Afrikaans legend "SUID-AFRIKA" was the first coin to be issued with an Afrikaans inscription, rather than the traditional English or Latin inscriptions used on previous coins. This change was made to recognize and promote the Afrikaans language, which was widely spoken in South Africa at the time.
