South Africa / Five Rand 2021 Centenary of SARB

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) or two (on larger coins) of these every year.

uMzantsi Afrika is in Xhosa and Suid-Afrika is in Afrikaans. The precedence of the languages varies.
