| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of South Africa is depicted centrally in the field, with the date appearing at the top of the coin. A bilingual legend encircles the design, presenting the country name in Afrikaans and Venda, the two languages designated for this issue. The overall composition follows the standard heraldic presentation adopted by the post-apartheid South African Republic. |

| Additional information |
Venda — one of the four nominally independent "homelands" created under apartheid-era territorial policy — was absorbed back into South Africa in 1994, yet its name persists on bilingual coinage pairings decades later. The South African Mint continues issuing separate Afrikaans and English date variants as a function of the dual-language circulation system, a practice rooted in the post-Union monetary framework rather than any contemporary political distinction.
