Interesting fact
The 50 cent coin from South Africa is unique in that it has a bimetallic design, meaning it has two different metals used in its construction. The inner core is made of bronze-plated steel, while the outer ring is made of a nickel-brass alloy. This distinctive design feature helps to prevent counterfeiting and makes the coin easily recognizable.
