| Beschrijving voorzijde | A finely detailed rendering of a King Protea (Protea cynaroides), South Africa's national flower, occupies the central field, depicted in high relief with its characteristic domed flowerhead and radiating bracts rendered with exceptional botanical precision. The legend SOUTH AFRICA arcs along the upper periphery in bold Latin capitals, while the date 2003 appears in the lower field beneath the flower. The engraver's initials ALS are incised discretely below the flowerhead. The mirrored proof fields surrounding the device provide a strong contrast to the finely frosted floral motif. The overall design is characteristic of the South African Mint's celebrated Protea bullion and commemorative series. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
South Africa hosted the 2003 ICC Cricket World Cup jointly with Zimbabwe and Kenya — the first time the tournament had been held on the continent. The event was shadowed by political controversy when England refused to play their group-stage match in Zimbabwe, forfeiting the points, and New Zealand similarly declined to travel to Nairobi on security grounds.
The South African Mint issued this piece as part of a broader commemorative program for the tournament. South Africa's own campaign ended in one of the more painful exits in World Cup history — eliminated in the group stage after a rain-calculation error left them needing one run off the final ball to tie, which counted as elimination.
