| Reverse description | Central device depicts a three-masted Dutch East India Company sailing vessel — a VOC galleon — navigating turbulent seas, rendered in fine detail with full sails set and rigging clearly delineated, evoking the historical maritime heritage of the Cape Colony. The denomination 1/2 D appears at the base of the design, flanked by ornamental stars. The bilingual legend SOUTH·AFRICA and SUID·AFRIKA arcs around the upper periphery, separated by the date of issue, with the designer's initials KG appearing discreetly within the design. A toothed border encircles the reverse field. |
