| Reverse description | The reverse features three-quarter frontal busts of Cornelis Jacobus Langenhoven, lyricist of 'Uit die Blou van Onse Hemel', and Enoch Sontonga, composer of 'Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika', positioned side by side with musical notes separating the two figures. The denomination R1 appears in the left field. Inscriptions identify each subject by name along with the respective years of composition, 1918 and 1897, commemorating the dual origins of the South African national anthem. The engraver's initials AM are present in the field. The design serves as a tribute to both components of the unified national anthem adopted by post-apartheid South Africa. |
