Coin World R5 Oom Paul Press (CW)

The Coin World R5 with CW privy mark is an unofficial private-mint overstrike created using an R5-sized planchet and the historic Oom Paul press operated by Coin World. These pieces are not legal tender and were not produced by the South African Mint. The CW privy mark under the wildebeest distinguishes them from standard Republic R5 coins. Issued in limited quantities for collectors, these fantasy-style strikes are widespread as novelty pieces and modern tributes within the South African numismatic community.
