How much is a R5 coin worth then?

The value of a circulating R5 coin is still R5, which makes them invaluable. However, an R5 coin that is proof or minted may have a higher value depending on either its metal content (gold/silver) and/or how rare it is (how many coins are in circulation.)

So if you found the R5 coin you’re trying to sell in your pocket or wallet with the rest of your change, then it’s only worth R5.
