| Aanvullende informatie |
The 1968 date places this coin squarely in the transition period following South Africa's shift from silver to nickel for its fifty-cent denomination, a change made in 1965 as rising silver prices made the old composition economically untenable. Charles Swart, the first State President under the republic declared in 1961, appeared on coinage in two linguistic variants — English and Afrikaans legend — a bilingual dualism mandated by law and reflecting the political arithmetic of the National Party government. The Afrikaans-legend pieces were struck in separate runs for collectors and circulation alike.
KM#79.2 distinguishes this from its English-legend counterpart solely by the obverse inscription.
