| Obverse description | A large, finely detailed representation of the king protea (Protea cynaroides), South Africa's national flower, occupies the central field, rendered with exceptional relief showing the characteristic domed flowerhead surrounded by layered bracts. The bilingual legend SUID-AFRIKA to the left and SOUTH AFRICA to the right arcs along the upper periphery, while the date 1992 appears prominently in the lower field. The engraver's initials ALS are incused below the flowerhead. The mirrored proof fields provide strong contrast against the frosted devices. |

| Reverse description | The central field features an interlocking trefoil composition of three overlapping circles, each containing a representation of a historic South African coin: the 1892 Pond depicting a bust right, a Rand coin bearing a springbok, and a coin featuring a horseman. The arrangement commemorates the centennial of South African coinage from 1892 to 1992. The engraver's initials LL appear at lower left of the design. The upper legend reads 1892 SOLI DEO GLORIA 1992, while the lower periphery carries the bilingual denomination and fineness inscription 1/10 OZ FYN GOUD PROTEA 1/10 OZ FINE GOLD. |
