The engraver's initials T.S. appear below the branches near the lower rim. The composition is rendered in fine relief with careful attention to feather and branch detail.

附加信息	South Africa's half cent was introduced alongside decimalization in 1961, when the rand replaced the pound at two rand to the pound. By 1970, the coin had become largely redundant in daily commerce — the denomination was too small to be useful and too costly to strike relative to its face value. The series was quietly discontinued after 1983, with some years seeing mintage almost entirely absorbed by collector sets rather than circulation.
