| Additional information |
Charles Robberts Swart was South Africa's first State President under the republican constitution of 1961, and coins bearing his name in Afrikaans reflect the Republic's determined effort to assert cultural parity between its two white official languages. The Mint produced separate Afrikaans and English legend versions simultaneously throughout much of the 1960s, a policy that generated parallel series — and, for collectors, a doubling of varieties for virtually every year and denomination. 1968 was Swart's final year on coinage; Diederichs succeeded him as President, ending the Swart series abruptly.
