The bilingual legend 'SUID-AFRIKA' and 'SOUTH AFRICA' flanks the portrait in the upper field, appearing in Afrikaans and English respectively. The date '1976' is positioned below the truncation of the bust. The engraver's initials 'J.B.' appear as part of the legend, attributing the portrait to Jean Baptiste Buisset. |
