- Description: The main coin in this image is of the Nelson Mandela 90th Birthday edition that was made in 2008 the coinÕs portrait includes Mandela wearing his signature pattern shirt, which "differentiates him from other portrayals of states persons on coins. At a ceremonial minting for one of the coins, Reuters news quoted Mandela as smiling and jokingly saying ÒI am a bit richer this morning and I am not going to be associated with poor people any more É this is very nice.Ó There is also the presidential inauguration 5 Rand which was made in 1994. In the background there are the normal 5 Rand coins with a Black Wildebeest on the front which translated means Black Wild Beast. There are also a few old coins in this image underneath the 5 Rand coins, I wanted to represent a change in history and show the shift from the old to the new, as well as show the stages of Nelson MandelaÕs foot print in South African History. Gauteng, South Africa. 13.03.2009.
