SA Mint celebrates 25 years of democracy with new coins, campaign

To mark the 25 years since South Africa held its first democratic election, the South African Mint has launched a special campaign that features new commemorative circulation and collectable coins.

It has also introduced a special logo for the campaign. The logo is made up of the letters S, A, and 2, mounted on a doodle-filled 5 to make up "SA25" - the doodles in the number five are words and images related to the various rights depicted on the new coins.

The logo was designed to create a visual identity for the new range of coins and makes the packaging and campaign instantly recognisable. A new website dedicated to the SA25 commemorative circulation and collectable coin range and activities supporting the campaign was also launched. The campaign will also have a dedicated presence on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

The South African Reserve Bank and SA Mint will officially unveil the coins at the Constitutional Court in June.
