As we reflect on Mandela Day, celebrated each year on 18 July, we’re reminded of the power of individual action and the legacy of those who dedicated their lives to building a more peaceful world. In that spirit, the Nobel Silver 1 Kilo Proof Medallion stands as a powerful tribute—commemorating 120 years since the first Nobel Peace Prize, and honouring the South Africans who received this global recognition for their extraordinary efforts in the pursuit of peace.

Struck in 1 kilogram of fine silver and limited to just 120 pieces worldwide, this medallion is a collector’s masterpiece and a historical keepsake.

One side of the medallion proudly features the names and dates of South Africa’s four Nobel Peace Prize laureates:

• Albert Luthuli (1960)
• Desmond Tutu (1984)
• FW de Klerk (1993)
• Nelson Mandela (1993)
  

These leaders shaped the course of our nation’s history—through resistance, reconciliation, and a relentless belief in justice.

The reverse of the medallion showcases a beautifully engraved image of the Norwegian Nobel Institute, the Oslo-based organisation established in 1904 that assists in selecting each year’s Peace Prize laureate. Situated beside the Royal Palace, it is the quiet powerhouse behind one of the world’s most respected honours.

Released in a mintage of just 120 worldwide, this medallion is a meaningful way to mark Mandela Day and the enduring legacy of peacebuilders like him. It invites reflection, remembrance, and a renewed commitment to building a better future—one act at a time.
