| Reverse description | Two Cape Sparrows (Passer melanurus) are depicted perched on bare branches, one facing left in the upper left and one facing right in the lower right, rendered in fine naturalistic detail. The denomination numeral '1' appears prominently in the upper right field, accompanied by the abbreviated currency unit 'c' to its right. The engraver's initials T.S. are incused at the base of the design between the branches. The composition fills the entire field without a surrounding legend, giving prominence to the ornithological motif. |
