| Reverse description | A right-facing springbok (Antidorcas marsupialis), the national animal of South Africa, is depicted in full stride at the center of the field, executed in fine relief. The Latin inscription SOLI DEO GLORIA (Glory to God Alone), one of the five solae of the Protestant Reformation, appears as the primary legend. The denomination 1 RAND is inscribed in the field, and the engraver's initials J.v.Z. for Jan van Zyl appear near the lower rim. The reverse design reflects the devotional and nationalistic symbolism characteristic of South African commemorative coinage of this era. |
