Collector insights
- Design heritage: Kotie Geldenhuys, Richard Stone, Paul Botes is credited as the designer for the Non-circulating coin series. Designer attribution helps distinguish this issue from later restrikes or unofficial copies that reuse only the motif.
- Struck at: South African Mint, Centurion, South Africa (1992-date). Confirm the mintmark on your example before comparing prices — same-year issues from different mints often trade at very different levels.
- Low mintage: Only 500 pieces reported. This puts the issue into key-date territory for its series; expect steep grade-based price scaling and a higher counterfeit risk — provenance and third-party grading matter.
- Catalogue reference: Listed as
KM# 733. Use this reference code when cross-checking auction archives, dealer inventories, and standard printed catalogues.
