What makes some South African silver with brass inlay R5 coins more valuable even highly valued compared to other such inlay R5 coins?

Firstly the coin is not made from silver and brass. The centre is of a golden coloured alloy and the ring of an silver coloured alloy. Secondly, as for value, that depends on the rarity of the coin. There is much hype on the value of the R5 Mandela coins. I think only a select few coins are really valuable. The rest are mere circulation coins with a value equal to its face value, for now anyway. Who knows how much such circulation coins will be worth in 50 years time? I think a lot of people spending a lot of money on Mandela R5 coins will be disappointed. Caveat emptor.
