While Mandelas inauguration may have been the catalyst for the creation of Mandela gold coins and their subsequent popularity, certain other historical events have led to the production of commemorative coins. Such events include Mandela being awarded the Nobel peace prize - along with F.W. De Klerk - in 1993 and Mandelas 90th birthday in 2008.

Silver and gold Mandela coins are available separately or in themed sets. Individual Mandela coins include the Mandela Robben Island half-ounce medallion, the one-ounce Mandela / De Klerk Protea 2007, the one-ounce Mandela Nobel Silver medallion and two-ounce Mandela 90th Birthday medallion.

These items are often struck in the same year and celebrate the same achievement. Popular sets include the Prestige Nobel set, the Mandela 90th Birthday Silver twin set and the Mandela 90th Birthday Platinum twin set.

Investing in the history of Mandela coins


Bullion gold coins are generally valued at the price of the gold that they contain. As the gold price rises or falls, the value of the coins increases or decreases respectively. However, the history of Mandela coins has shown that coins emblazoned with images of South Africas former president are popular and have a higher value than other coins containing the same quantity of gold.

Moreover, as time passes, their rarity increases and their value rises at a significantly faster rate than other bullion gold coins.
