Mandela Robben Island 1/2 oz Gold Medallion

Gold Weight: 1/2 ounce pure gold (.999 Au)

Issue Limit: 2010

 Robben Island, whose prison was once home to former South African president Nelson Mandela as well as many other black political freedom fighters, is now a world heritage site and provides stunning views across Cape Towns bay with table mountain as its backdrop.

This much anticipated addition to the series is the first to feature both Mandela and Robben Island on the same Medallion.

The face of the medallion has Nelson Mandela's bust on it. The other side pictures the profile of Table Mountain overlooking an aerial view of Robben Island. It has the words ROBBEN ISLAND and the dates 1964-1982 commemorating Nelson Mandelas tenure of imprisonment on the island. It comes packaged in a beautiful wooden box with a gold plaque that again says "ROBBEN ISLAND 1964 -1982". These medallions are minted by the mint of Norway and have a limited mintage of 2010 alluding to celebration of the world cup.
