South African banknotes and R5 coins will soon carry the face of late president Nelson Mandela in celebration of his 100th birthday.

The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) released the designs of the commemorative banknotes on Wednesday ahead of its official release, after the designs surfaced on social media.

As part of the preparations for the launch, test packs of the commemorative banknotes were made available to members of the broader cash industry to allow them to make adequate preparations in relation to issues such as adaptions of cash processing and cash dispensing machines, ticketing machines and so forth," the bank said in a statement.

The notes will co-circulate for a limited time, together with the current Mandela banknote series and the existing R5 coin, and both sets will remain legal tender.
