| Obverse description | At center, a stylized effigy of the King Protea (Protea cynaroides) in full bloom occupies the field, rendered in fine detail with its characteristic layered petals. A circular legend surrounds the floral device, reading 'SUID-AFRIKA SOUTH AFRICA' in the upper arc, with the engraver's initials 'ALS' and the date '1993' appearing at the lower exergue. The overall composition reflects the South African Mint's use of the Protea as a recurring national symbol on bullion coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a central stack of coins as the primary design element, flanked by two historically significant numismatic references: a 1793 VOC Doit to the left and a 1993 Krugerrand also to the left, commemorating two centuries of South African banking. The outline of the South African Reserve Bank building in Pretoria appears in the background behind the coin stack, while a lion's head device is positioned to the right. The engraver's initials 'LL' appear in the field. A surrounding legend records the bicentennial dates '1793 BANKWESE BANKING 1993' in the upper arc, with the weight and purity inscriptions '1 OZ FYN GOUD PROTEA 1 OZ FINE GOLD' in the lower portion. |
