The R2 Children’s Rights circulation coin stands for the human rights children have had access to over the past 25 years of constitutional democracy. Every child needs physical protection, food, education and healthcare. In South Africa, children’s rights include the equal protection of their civil rights and freedom from discrimination based on innate characteristics such as race, gender, nationality and disability to name but a few. Artist Neo Mahlangu wanted the coin’s design to display the joy of children and engender a sense of nostalgia in adults, in the hope of fostering the united goal of protecting the children in our nation.
This is one of five different commemorative Two Rand coins issued in 2019 with reverse designs based on some of the fundamental human rights enshrined in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, namely Children’s Rights, Right to Education, Environmental Rights, Freedom of Movement and Residence, and Freedom of Religion, Belief and Opinion.
