For years, I have wondered why is it that South Africa does not have a version of the Buffalo round. A round that has deeper meaning culturally and emotionally that connects us to South Africa in a way that the Buffalo round has done in the US.
Forged within South Africa, it is our expression of culture, diversity and humanity. The artwork weaves together traditional patterning and a central spiral emanates, symbolising limitless potential. 94 dots encircle the round, inspired by freedom.
On its reverse Ubuntu Silver celebrates Mother Africa. Wise and fearless, she has weathered the past, watches over the present and looks toward the future.
