| Reverse description | A full-colour applied image of an Orange-breasted Sunbird (Anthobaphes violacea) dominates the centre of the field, depicted perched on a reed stem with wings fully spread upward, rendered in vibrant iridescent greens, oranges, and blues faithful to the species' plumage. The surrounding field is engraved in fine relief with indigenous fynbos vegetation, foliage, and a coastal landscape background executed in a detailed naturalistic style. The denomination 'R10' is inscribed in large raised lettering to the right of the bird, with the binomial scientific name 'ANTHOBAPHES VIOLACEA' inscribed below in two lines. The engraver's initials 'VLC' and the fineness mark '1oz Ag925 CuNi' appear in the lower left field. |
