This exquisite 2012 Protea 1/10oz Gold Coin honours one of South Africa’s most powerful love stories: that of Walter and Albertina Sisulu—a partnership defined by courage, sacrifice, and unwavering devotion to freedom.
More than a marriage, theirs was a lifelong bond forged through decades of political struggle, imprisonment, and exile. This coin stands as a tribute not only to romantic love, but to shared purpose, resilience, and legacy.
Struck by the South African Mint, the coin forms part of the Protea series, celebrating iconic South African stories through fine numismatic art. The protea—our national flower—symbolises strength, transformation, and enduring beauty, making it the perfect emblem for this historic union.
