Description
The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) issued a Griqua Town themed R5 circulation coin, celebrating the 200th anniversary of the creation of the first coinage in South Africa.
The currency was created in the name of a local community: Griqua Town, but had far-reaching significance as the first South African currency, the country’s first decimal coinage and the world’s first Christian Missionary coinage.
The new R5 coin has an image of the 1815 Griqua Town coin with the words “Coinage of Griqua Town 200” and the date “1815 – 2015” on the reverse side. The obverse depicts the South African Coat of Arms, with the words SARB on each side.
