What is the Nelson Mandela South African R5 really worth?

In this video, I explore the South African R5 coin, including the Nelson Mandela R5 coins. From its origins as a commemorative coin honoring the presidential inauguration, to its current status as a popular circulation coin featuring the South African wildebeest and various important events, we delve into the history and significance of this small but mighty piece of currency.
Unfortunately, the Internet is rife with scams around the R5 coin and even though the coin is very special, it's worth only face value. I cover all the years and show each and every commemorative version of the coin.
Whether you're a numismatist, a traveler looking to learn more about South Africa, or simply curious about the coins in your pocket, this video is for you. So sit back, relax, and let's dive into the world of the South African R5 coin together!
Special thanks again to George Human for sponsoring a complete R5 set... I owe you!

    Hi Jaco. Dankie vir die informasie in die video, dit help baie. Ek het so paar maande terug begin om munte te versamel en vind nog maar my voete. Ek wil graag hoor of jy asb n video kan maak oor die R5 herdenkings munte wat gegradeer is en hul waarde of selfs enige herdenkings munte van die 3de desimale reeks wat gegradeer is deur NGC of PCGS? Ek het n PF68 UC 1994 Presidential Inauguration R5 en n Mirrored PF69 UC 2008 Nelson Mandela 90th Birthday R5 en nie seker of ek te veel betaal het nie. Ek wil net seker maak in toekoms as ek na n gegradeerde munt kyk en belangstel om dit te koop dat ek nie in gedoen word nie. Dankie weereens vir al jou videos, daar is van hulle wat ek weer na terug val en kyk as ek onseker is oor n munt soos die "South African 1st Decimal Series: Key Dates and Values" video. Groete

    Pretty easily. Best is to ask on some of the legitimate Facebook groups. SACCG, "Ou munte en note van SA" are some of the examples. Don't pay more than 20% facevalue and only if in great condition.
