    Coin Set Pays Tribute to Nelson Mandela

    Posted on July 18th, 2014 by Goldman Buyer

    Today, on what would be Nelson Mandela’s 96th birthday, South Africa released a set of limited edition gold and silver coins in the former president and anti-apartheid hero’s honor.

    The centerpiece of the set is a 24-carat gold coin featuring Mandela’s portrait and the words, “Every where it is accepted that students . . . have the right to freedom of thought.” The second coin shows Mandela in his later years looking over his alma mater, the University of Fort Hare; it is also made of gold. The final coin is made of sterling silver and shows Mandela as a young boy learning to write on his first day of school.

    The collection is a tribute to the nation”s first democratic president’s “dedication to life-long learning,” says the South African Reserve Bank. In 2009, the United Nations designated today, July 18, as Nelson Mandela International Day.

    Customer Testimonial

    Had a Great Experience

    I have dealt in coins and metals since the 80s. Had dealings with many dealers. Got scammed by a few. Chicago Gold is the only one I would recommend to my family or friends. Have your valuables appraised by them before you sell.

    I'll be back

    Cashed in some silver coins and received a very fair exchange. Joe and Chris, were very friendly, and comfortable to deal with. Came back with some jewelry, and received a rough appraisal...again no pressure.

    I would do business with them again

    I found the Chicago Gold Gallery to be a very honest and reputable shop. I would highly recommend this store to anyone buying and selling their possessions.
