Obverse description Right-facing effigy of President Hendrik Frensch Verwoerd, rendered in high relief with finely detailed facial features. The Afrikaans legend SUID-AFRIKA appears to the right of the portrait, with the date 1967 integrated into the legend. The engraver's initials T.S. (Tommy Sasseen) are incuse below the bust truncation. The design is restrained and formal, befitting a commemorative issue honouring a head of state.
