Interesting fact
The 5 Rand coin features a unique bimetallic design, with a brass center surrounded by a copper-nickel ring. This distinctive design not only makes the coin visually appealing, but it also serves as a security feature to prevent counterfeiting. The use of two different metals in the coin's construction makes it difficult for counterfeiters to produce a convincing replica, as it would require the use of specialized equipment and techniques to accurately replicate the bimetallic design. This feature helps to ensure the authenticity and value of the coin, making it a sought-after collector's item.
