The 2020 R2 commemorative coin completes the 2019 range of coins, and depicts the “Right to freedom and security of the person”.
In September 2019, the South African Mint invited the public to enter designs for the reverse side of a new R2 coin, depicting one of the remaining rights from the Bill of Rights, not already commemorated on the previous SA25 coins. The winning design was submitted by a senior graphic designer from Pretoria, Esta Quirk.
The Bill of Rights is a cornerstone of democracy in South Africa. It enshrines the rights of all people in the country and affirms the democratic values of human dignity, equality and freedom.
