The Royal Mint struck and presented this collectable gathering of proof Botswana coinage. The set was struck in 1976 to mark 'The First Coinage Of The Republic Of Botswana'. Southern Africa's Botswana is known for its affinity with the animal kingdom, reflected in the reverse designs of these six base metal coins. Botswana replaced the South African Rand with the Pula on this pivotal day in its legal tender history, and the denominations range from the 1 Pula to the 1 Thebe. Included with your pre-owned coin set, which celebrates Botswana's introduction of its own legal tender currency, is The Royal Mint's original presentation envelope and perspex coin display case. Add a touch of the Savannah to your coin collection with this scarce and collectable Botswana proof set!

Botswana Coinage Designs

Botswana's diverse wildlife is duly celebrated on its coins, which were proudly introduced in 1976 under the Pula currency. Birders will enjoy the majestic African eagle design found on the 50 Thebe coin, while dynamic depictions of the Zebra (1 Pula) and Oryx (10 Thebe) are also included. These Botswanan coins feature an obverse design of the coat of arms, depicting a pair of zebras rearing over a central shield. 

Royal Mint Botswana Coins

The Royal Mint struck this Botswana proof set in accordance to the country's currency specification and composition for its then-new legal tender. A variety of coin shapes are present; collectors can enjoy a scalloped edge on the 1 Pula.

Pre-Owned Proof Annual Set
