Interesting fact
The 1998 South African 1 Rand coin (Year of the Child) was designed by artist Tanya Dos Santos, who was only 14 years old at the time! She won a national competition for the design, which features a portrait of a young child surrounded by symbols of protection and nurturing. This coin was minted to commemorate the Year of the Child, a United Nations initiative aimed at promoting the rights and well-being of children around the world.
