The traditional wildebeest, kudu and springbok designs that have graced South Africa’s decimal coinage for years have seen their final days in 2022. In 2023, six new designs have been created, the first year of the country’s fourth decimal series. These new designs are exquisite and continue the tradition of paying tribute to South Africa’s fabulous variety of flora, waterfowl and antelope. Issued in both English and Afrikaans, the new coins are:

The 5 rand coin, which featured a wildebeest, now shows a southern right whale.
On the 2 rand coin, a springbok antelope replaces the kudo, an antelope nearly four times the size of the sleek springbok.
On the 1 Rand coin, the Protea Cynaroid flower replaces the Springbok.
The 50 euro cent coin depicts a grey trefoil bird in flight. Also known as the "Grey Go-Away-Bird", it is the successor to the old crane flower.
The 20-cent coin replaces the King Protea Cynaroid flower with an aloe-themed design.
The 10 cent coin now features a Cape honey bee replacing the arum lily.

These legal tender coins mark the beginning of a new era and will be delivered in spectacular, satin and uncirculated condition. They range from 10 cents to 5 rand. Not to be missed. The worldwide mintage is limited to just 10,000, which is remarkably low compared to similar series issued by the United States and other countries. In addition, each series comes in its original packaging.
