South Africa Rand English - Silver (.800), 32.7mm / 15.0 g. Shortly before declaring itself a republic in 1961, the Rand (with a decimal of 100 cents) was introduced to the Union of South Africa as a replacement for the British pound. In 1965 South Africa issued 16 coins in nine denominations; seven denominations with a common design except for a version of each with the country name in Afrikaans (Suid-Afrika) and one with it in English (South-Africa). The other two denominations were gold coins with both spellings on the coin. The mint in Pretoria only struck 1 Rand silver coins in proof in 1965, 25,000 of the English proof and approximately 100 of the Afrikaans proof (all presented to VIPs). The obverse of his example of the 1965 English proof features a bust of Jan van Riebeeck right, English legend and date. The reverse depicts a Springbok antelope, lettering "SOLI DEO GLORIA" (Glory to God alone), and the denomination below.
