| Reverse description | The reverse displays a central design by George Kruger Gray depicting two Cape sparrows (Passer melanurus) perched facing one another on a sprig of acacia, set within a recessed circular inner field. Small berries or seed pods are scattered across the lower field, adding naturalistic detail. The designer's initials KG appear discreetly in the lower central field beneath the branch. The bilingual outer legend reads SUID-AFRIKA · [date] · SOUTH AFRICA, reflecting the Union of South Africa's dual official languages, with the denomination ✿ 1/4 D ✿ inscribed at the base, flanked by decorative floral stops. A beaded rim frames the entire design. |
