| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a scenic composition evoking Mqhekezweni, the royal residence known as The Great Place, where Nelson Mandela spent formative years under the guardianship of Chief Jongintaba Dalindyebo. To the right, a group of figures is shown gathered beneath a large, spreading bare tree rendered in high relief, its branches extending across the upper field. To the left, a multi-line quotation from Nelson Mandela's autobiography is inscribed in a flowing script typeface. Below the main design, the name 'Mqhekezweni' appears in ornate lettering, followed by the subtitle 'The Great Place'. The engraver's initials MJS appear in the lower exergue. |
