| Reverse description | A detailed panoramic scene commemorating the centenary of Johannesburg dominates the field. In the foreground, a gold miner is depicted panning for alluvial gold in a stream, evoking the origins of the 1886 Witwatersrand gold rush. Behind him, the characteristic headgear, mine sheds, and a mine dump of a working gold mine are rendered in fine detail, while the skyline silhouette of modern Johannesburg fills the background horizon. The inscriptions JOHANNESBURG flanked by the dual dates 1886 and 1986, together with the denomination and fineness legends, arc around the periphery, and the engraver's initials LV appear in the design. |
