| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a group portrait of eight diverse faces representing the peoples of South Africa, arranged in the central field in a dynamic, overlapping composition engraved by Vincent Chipa. The denomination 'R1' is inscribed prominently at the lower centre of the field, with the engraver's initials 'VLC' nearby. Surrounding the central group portrait, the ten clauses of the Freedom Charter are inscribed in full along concentric circular bands radiating outward. The outer legend along the lower rim reads 'THE FREEDOM CHARTER - KLIPTOWN, 26 JUNE 1955', commemorating the historic adoption of the charter. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Freedom Charter was adopted on June 26, 1955, at a mass gathering in Kliptown, Soweto, organized by the Congress Alliance. The apartheid government responded within days by raiding the event and seizing documents, then spent the following years building the Treason Trial of 1956–1961 partly on the Charter's text as evidence of sedition. That the Charter's opening declaration — "South Africa belongs to all who live in it" — eventually became foundational to the post-apartheid constitutional order took another four decades to materialize.
This issue falls within the South African Mint's "Life of a Legend" series commemorating Mandela-era milestones.
