How much is the 5 rand of the 90th birthday of Mandela worth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You are asking about a 5 Shilling coin (also called a "Crown") from South Africa (KM#40.1). The coin weighs 28.28 grams and is 80.0% silver, giving it an ASW (Actual Silver Weight) of 0.7273 troy ounces. With silver at US$18.50 per troy ounce (as of June 1, 2010), the "melt value" of this coin is about US$13.46.

The obverse of the coin has a portrait of King George the Sixth and the words "GEORGIVS SEXTUS REX" (Latin for "George the Sixth, King"). The reverse has an image of a Springbok (an African antelope), with the words "SOUTH AFRICA", the date, and "SUID-AFRIKA" (Afrikaans for "South Africa") above and the denomination ("5 SHILLING") below.

535,000 of these coins were produced in 1949. According to the 2010 Standard Catalog of World Coins, an example is worth about US$13.50 in Extremely Fine condition and US$20.00 in Uncirculated condition. Given the current price of silver, however, the actual numismatic value of these coins is probably actually a dollar or two higher.

Another 2,000 were produced in Proof-like condition - these are valued at about US$35.00 each; and 800 were produced in Proof condition - these are valued at about US$50.00 each.

No. Nelson Mandela stepped down from the presidency of South Africa in 1999 and was replaced by Thabo Mbeki who ruled from 1999-2008, when he resigned. He was succeeded by his deputy Kgalema Motlanthe for one year before the election of 2009 brought Jacob Zuma to the Presidency.

Since retiring, he has attempted to use his considerable prestige to bring peace, freedom, and human rights to the regions of the world that need it most.
