| Obverse description | Left-facing bearded effigy of President Thomas François Burgers, rendered in high relief with fine portrait detail engraved by Leonard Charles Wyon. The truncation of the bust is cleanly cut, with the president's name arcing as a legend around the upper periphery in Latin lettering. The date 1874 appears in the lower field beneath the bust. Two distinct varieties are recorded: the coarse beard type (KM#1.1) and the fine beard type (KM#1.2), distinguished by the rendering of the facial hair. The field is smooth and unadorned, allowing the portrait to dominate the design. |
