Having environmental rights means being afforded access to natural resources, including the water, food and clean air that enable one’s survival. Our constitution declares that everyone has the right to an environment that is not harmful to their health or well-being; and to have the environment protected, for the benefit of present and future generations. Designer Maaike Bakker featured simplified and integrated elements in the R2 Environmental Rights circulation coin’s artistry, portraying the great outdoors across South Africa. Her desire is that the majestic environment we live in, will be protected and preserved, so all who inhabit it, may enjoy it.
The 2020 R2 commemorative coin completes the 2019 range of coins, and depicts the “right to freedom and security of the person”. In September 2019, the South African Mint invited the public to enter designs for the reverse side of a new R2 coin, depicting one of the remaining rights from the Bill of Rights, not already commemorated on the previous SA25 coins.
This coin is not available in circulation and was made available in UNC and packed in a sealed blister pack.
