In 2013, the SA Mint celebrated the 20-year history of the unique Natura coin series.
The sterling silver R2 Crown and 2 ½ c Tickey were re-introduced as a combined commemorative coin series in 1997. The latest theme in this series is called Trains of South Africa. In 2012, the first of the trains to be portrayed was The Gautrain, and Diesel Electric Locomotives is the next train theme to be featured.
This year sees the launch of a new conservation theme, South Africa’s Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). The two 2013 coins depict the St Lucia MPA and the Maputaland MPA.
The 2013 releases also include three medallion ranges: EWT, Big 5 Gold Range and Big 5 Silver Range.
