1 cent coin South Africa

1 Cent, South Africa (Issued 1993)

The 1 cent was South Africa’s smallest circulating coin, a light copper-coloured piece handled in vast numbers before the minor denominations were withdrawn from use. This 1993 coin follows the pre-2000 pattern, struck in copper-plated steel that gives a warm brown surface and a thin, low weight, finished with a plain edge. Coins of this kind are commonly found worn and darkened from years of everyday circulation.

On the obverse stands the earlier national coat of arms, showing a shield supported by two figures under a crest with the Latin motto “EX UNITATE VIRES” beneath. The country name appears in both languages as “SOUTH AFRICA · SUID AFRIKA” around the rim, dated 1993 at the foot.

On the reverse, a large numeral 1 with the letter “c” is flanked by two Cape sparrows perched on a sprig, rendered in fine detail as part of the country’s low-value coin designs.
