| Reverse description | The Dutch East India Company vessel 'Dromedaris' depicted under sail, sailing to the right in moderate relief, with the engraver's initials 'KG' positioned in the field before the ship's bow. The date appears above the central design and the denomination '1/2 PENNY' is inscribed below, flanked by a star on each side. The bilingual legend 'SOUTH AFRICA' and its Afrikaans equivalent 'ZUID-AFRIKA' appear on either side of the ship, separated by decorative stops, reflecting South Africa's dual official languages. A beaded border frames the entire reverse composition. |
