4 new coins for South Africa in 2026

South Africa has introduced four new coins in 2026 to commemorate significant historical milestones, a move seen as a long-overdue recognition of women's contributions to the nation's struggle for freedom. The coins are part of the Milestones of Freedom campaign launched by President Cyril Ramaphosa, marking a significant shift in national memory. By highlighting women's roles, the new coins aim to correct a historical imbalance that has often overlooked their vital contributions to the country's fight for equality.
