The Namibian dollar (abbreviated N$ or NAD) is the national currency of Namibia, adopted in 1993. Previously, the country had used the South African rand, a legacy of South African rule. The rand is still legal tender, as the Namibian dollar is linked to the South African rand and can be exchanged on a one-to-one basis locally. Namibia is also part of the Common Monetary Area, along with Lesotho and Swaziland.

Dollar or mark?

During the planning phase of the introduction of a new national currency replacing the South African rand, the newly founded Bank of Namibia minted a proof series of coins denominated in dollars as well as in marks, for the consideration of the Namibian Ministry of Finance. The decision then fell in favour of the name ‘dollar’ for the new currency. The dollar (represented by the dollar sign: $) is the name of the official currency in several countries, dependencies and other regions. ... // Name Originates partly from latin meaning martial. ...

10 marks essai (verso)

The proof series consisted of four different coins: 1 mark, 1 dollar (both in copper/nickel), 10 marks and 10 dollars (both in silver). The recto of the mark pieces shows a sitting lion where the dollar pieces depict a Bushman with bow and arrow. All recto sides bear the indication of denomination as well as the remark ‘PROBE’/‘ESSAI’ (proof). The verso of the 1-mark/1-dollar pieces shows Namibia’s former coat of arms surrounded by the inscription ‘NAMIBIA’, the year (1990) and two ears of corn. The ten-mark/ten-dollar pieces bear the inscription ‘INDEPENDENCE’/‘UNABHÄNGIGKEIT’ (G. ‘independence’) instead of the ears.
