Interesting fact
The 2001 South African 2½ Cents Dolphin coin is a unique piece that features a dolphin jumping out of the water on its reverse side. What makes it even more special is that it was designed by a 13-year-old boy named Michael Mabaso, who won a national coin design competition held by the South African Mint. This coin is a great example of how art and numismatics can come together to create something truly remarkable.
