| Obverse description | A group of six meerkats (Suricata suricatta) depicted in silhouette, standing upright in a characteristic sentinel pose on a sandy desert dune, rendered in high relief against a finely detailed landscape background. The large numeral date '2011' appears prominently above the figures in bold, stylised lettering, with the repeated legend 'SOUTH AFRICA' inscribed in the upper field behind the date. The engraver's initials 'MJS' appear to the left in the field. The composition, engraved by Thinus Scheepers, captures the animals' distinctive alert posture with exceptional naturalistic artistry. |
