| Reverse description | The reverse displays the full heraldic achievement of the Cape of Good Hope, comprising a shield bearing the colonial arms with flanking supporters and a crest above, all rendered in fine relief appropriate to a proof pattern striking. A decorative ribbon below the shield carries the motto SPES BONA, meaning Good Hope. The legend CAPE OF GOOD HOPE arcs around the upper portion of the design, with the date 1889 positioned at the base. The composition is formally arranged within a circular border, consistent with standard Victorian colonial heraldic coin design. |
