| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central device featuring the quartered coat of arms of the Union of South Africa, supported by ornate scrollwork, with the four quarters displaying the emblems of the former colonies: the anchor and ship of the Cape Colony, the lion of Natal, the Voortrekker wagon wheel of the Transvaal, and the orange tree of the Orange Free State. The four-digit date is split either side of the shield, with the first two digits to the left and the last two to the right. The bilingual legend SOUTH AFRICA ZUID-AFRIKA arcs around the upper periphery, and the denomination FLORIN appears in the lower exergue, with small floral ornaments flanking the inscription. The whole is enclosed within a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
South Africa's florin series of this period was struck at the Pretoria Mint, which had opened only in 1923 — making these among the very first coins produced by a South African national mint rather than imported from the Royal Mint in London. The transition was politically charged: Afrikaner nationalist sentiment had been pushing for domestic minting since Union in 1910, and the new facility represented a hard-won administrative concession from the British-aligned government.
The 1923 date is notably scarce relative to later issues in the run, with mintage figures reflecting the mint's early production constraints. By 1930, output had stabilized considerably.
