Information about legend: AFRIKA TSHIPEMBE [year] ININGIZIMU AFRIKA

South Africa

Given that South Africa has eleven official languages, the South African Reserve Bank has established a system of rotation, whereby the inscriptions on the coinage of the country alternate between one (on smaller-size coins), two or three (on larger coins) of these every year.

Afrika Tshipembe is in Venda (note that it is now spelled Afrika and not Afurika as on earlier coins), and iNingizimu Afrika is in Zulu.
