2 South African rand coin

2 Rand South Africa (Issued 2008)

The two rand coin is a higher-value everyday circulation piece in South Africa’s post-2000 coinage series. Struck in nickel-plated steel with a bright silvery finish and a milled edge, it is a robust, chunky coin sized above the one rand and built for constant handling. Like the rest of the series it carries the country’s name in rotating official languages, and this example is dated 2008.

On the obverse appears the national coat of arms adopted in 2000 — a secretary bird with spread wings above a rising sun, over a central shield showing two human figures from San rock art, flanked by elephant tusks, ears of wheat and a protea. The motto “!KE E: /XARRA //KE” runs along the scroll beneath, the country name is given in Sotho (“Afrika Borwa”) on the left and English (“South Africa”) on the right, and the date “2008” appears above.

On the reverse, the head and shoulders of a greater kudu, a large spiral-horned antelope, fill the left of the field, its long twisted horns curving upward. The denomination “2 RAND” is inscribed to the right in bold lettering, with the designer’s small initials in the lower field.
