| Additional information |
South Africa's post-apartheid coinage underwent a quiet but deliberate reform in the early 2000s, shifting from nickel-plated steel to bronze-plated steel for the smaller denominations as part of a cost-reduction program driven by rising base metal prices. The 2006 date falls squarely in this transitional period, when the South African Mint was also contending with sharply increased production demands tied to the country's expanding cash economy.
