| Reverse description | The Arms of the Cape of Good Hope displayed prominently in the centre, featuring a divided shield with charges including anchors and a floral device, supported on either side by two rampant animals (lions or similar heraldic supporters). A seated figure surmounts the crest above the shield. A ribbon or scroll below the shield bears the motto SPES BONA. The legend CAPE OF GOOD HOPE arcs around the upper periphery in raised Latin letters, while the date 1889 appears in the lower exergual area. The overall composition is heraldic and finely rendered, consistent with a Royal Mint pattern piece. |
