Interesting fact

The 1993 South African Banking Bicentennial 1 Ounce Gold Coin features a unique design that showcases the country's rich history and culture. The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of Nelson Mandela, the former President of South Africa and a prominent anti-apartheid revolutionary. This design was chosen to commemorate Mandela's 20th anniversary of his release from prison, where he spent 27 years for his activism against the apartheid regime. The reverse side of the coin features a stunning image of a lion, which symbolizes strength, courage, and resilience - qualities that Mandela embodied throughout his life. The coin's design serves as a powerful reminder of South Africa's journey towards democracy and the important role that Mandela played in shaping the country's history.
