| Obverse description | The national flag of South Africa is depicted in the central field, rendered with its distinctive Y-shaped design incorporating the six colours of the post-1994 republic. The country name appears in the lower left in Tsonga, one of South Africa's eleven official languages. The date of issue is inscribed in the lower right of the field, with the engraver's initials MJS also present. |

| Additional information |
The nickel-plated steel composition on this denomination dates to a 2012 reformulation driven by rising metal costs — the earlier brass rand had become worth melting. KM#790 reflects the current circulation standard, a workhorse issue produced in the tens of millions annually with no particular variety interest.
