View Full Version : Does anyone have any idea the value of this coin?
I bought it for fiddy bucks at a benefit auction. It's a 2018 Nelson Mandela African coin. Probably worthless, but it was for a good cause. :seasix:

You chose…..poorly.
The face value of the 2018 Nelson Mandela Centenary R5 coin in South African currency is R5. In US dollars, this would be approximately $0.31 (based on the current exchange rate of approximately R19.00 per US dollar).
The coin was released into circulation in July 2018, the month in which Mandela was born. The proof version was only available in sets, not separately. The South African Reserve Bank has repeatedly advised that the regular circulation coins are not worth more than their face value (R5).

Looks a bit like this coin. Which appears to be an illegal immigrant $1 coin.
