| Additional information |
The Richtersveld, a harsh succulent desert in South Africa's Northern Cape, was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2003 — one of the few such designations awarded jointly for both cultural and natural significance. The Nama people, semi-nomadic pastoralists who have worked this land for centuries, were central to that inscription; their continued seasonal migration with livestock across the landscape was explicitly recognized as a living cultural practice, not a historical artifact.
This coin is part of South Africa's ongoing World Heritage Sites bullion series, which began commemorating UNESCO-listed South African sites in the mid-2000s.
