Interesting fact
The 5 Rand coin features an image of Nelson Mandela, the former President of South Africa and a prominent anti-apartheid revolutionary. Mandela's image appears on the obverse (front) side of the coin, while the reverse (back) side features a picture of a lion, which is a symbol of strength and courage in African culture. The inclusion of Mandela's image on the coin serves as a tribute to his legacy and his contributions to the fight against apartheid and the promotion of racial harmony in South Africa.
