South African Mint: List of Coins Minted (Page 5 of 9)

South African Mint (1923 - )

The South African Mint Company (Pty) Limited (SA MINT) is the official mint of the Republic of South Africa with its headquarters in Centurion, Gauteng Province near Pretoria. SA MINT manufactures coins on behalf of the South African Reserve Bank.

An earlier mint in Pretoria was founded in 1890 by Johannes Paulus Kruger, President of the South African Republic, after the discovery of vast gold deposits in 1886 near the Witwatersrand. Coin production in Pretoria ceased following the end of the Second Boer War in 1902 and the occupation of the area by British forces. In 1910, the separate provinces of Transvaal, Orange Free State, Natal and the Cape Colony were brought together to form the Union of South Africa as a Dominion of the British Empire. The Mint Act of 1919 served to establish a branch of the Royal Mint in the city of Pretoria, and this mint began producing the Imperial gold pound (sovereign) in 1923. In July of 1941, however, ties between South Africa and the Royal Mint were severed, and the mint became known as the South African Mint thereafter.

Most of the mint's production is of circulation coins and commemorative coins. The world-famous Krugerrand gold coin has been minted here since 1967 (in a joint operation with the Rand Refinery). From 1996, the Mint has operated a retail outlet and museum at Centurion, Gauteng.

Note that bullion Krugerrands manufactured by the Mint for Rand Refinery are now recorded per annum (January - December). The previous year’s dies are replaced in January with the new date regardless of whether there is still an outstanding amount on order from the previous year. However, earlier mintages (before 2000) may reflect production figures for the year and not true mintage figures as production may have continued into the new year to complete the order from the previous year. Rand Refinery sales graphs reflect yearly sales only; dates on the coins are not taken into consideration.
