5 Cents Afrika-Dzonga

The Tsonga-language designation "Afrika-Dzonga" appeared on South African coinage as part of the post-apartheid policy of rotating all eleven official languages across the coin series — a cycle that takes years to complete and means any given language appears only periodically. The 2003 date places this piece in the early years of Thabo Mbeki's presidency, well into the currency's post-1994 redesign program.
