| Additional information |
Issued to mark the centennial of formal nursing training in South Africa, which traces to the opening of the first nurses' training school at Baragwanath — though the profession's organized roots in the country are more precisely anchored to the late Victorian hospital reforms of the 1890s. The coin was struck in 1991, a year the South African Mint was producing a high volume of commemorative silver as international sanctions began to ease and export markets reopened.
