I saw this on another coin forum.  2013 South Africa R2 coin commemorating the centenary of the Union Buildings

I need to find out how to get on to put with my 1960 coin from South Africa which also has the Union Buildings on it.

The Union Buildings (Afrikaans: Die Uniegebou) form the official seat of the South African government and also house the offices of the president of South Africa. The imposing buildings are located in Pretoria, atop Meintjieskop at the northern end of Arcadia, close to historic Church Square and the Voortrekker Monument.

The buildings were started in 1910 and finished in 1913.

I have included pictures of the Union Building from when I was there in 2007.

Nice coin and I just happen to have a friend in South Africa at the moment too.
I have posted on his Facebook account, to see if he can pick a few up for us.  :)

Seems that there is one problem in that they haven't been released yet,
but my friend has a friend who works in a bank in S.A., so she will keep
an eye out for them and send them to my friend when they are available.  :)
