| Obverse description | Facing bust portrait of Nelson Mandela centered in the field, rendered in high relief, with a decorative patterned collar visible at the shoulder. Three King Protea blossoms form an ornamental wreath along the lower portion of the field, framing the effigy. The legend SOUTH AFRICA arcs across the upper periphery, while the date 2018 is divided on either side of the portrait in the middle field. The engraver's initials VLC appear at the lower right of the bust. |
