⁣⁢The traditional designs of wildebeest, kudu, and springbok that adorned South Africa's decimal coinage for years had their last hurrah in 2022, and 2023 saw six new designs, the first year of the country's 4th decimal series. These new designs are exquisite and continue the tradition of paying homage to South Africa's fabulous variety of flora, fauna, and antelopes. Issued in English and Afrikaans, the new coins are as follows:⁤⁣

⁣⁢The 5 Rand Coin, which depicted a wildebeest, now features a Southern Right Whale.
The 2 Rand Coin now shows a springbok antelope replacing the kudu, an antelope nearly four times larger than the elegant springbok.
The 1 Rand Coin has seen the Protea Cynaroid flower replace the Springbok.
The 50 Cent coin depicts a grey Loerie bird in flight. Also known as the “Grey Go-Away-Bird,” it has succeeded the previous Crane Flower design.
The 20 Cent coin replaces the King Protea cynaroid flower with an aloe-themed design.
The 10 Cent coin now features a Cape honey bee replacing the Arum Lily.⁤⁣
