| Additional information |
South Africa's shift to Afrikaans and English parallel coinage in the early 1960s was a direct consequence of the country becoming a republic in 1961, severing ties with the Crown and requiring a complete re-denomination of the currency. The "SUID-AFRIKA" legend identifies this as the Afrikaans-obverse pairing, always struck alongside an English equivalent — the two types circulated together, meaning any given transaction might involve both.
The multiple Hern references reflect year-by-year catalog distinctions within this short run, not die varieties of particular rarity.
