| Reverse description | The centre of the reverse field bears the South African Mint's stylised monogram logo, depicting an elliptical oval enclosing an angular 'M' device formed by two mirrored chevron elements, rendered in shallow relief against an otherwise plain field. The surrounding area is entirely unadorned, with no legend, date, or additional inscription, reflecting the pattern or trial nature of this piece. The scalloped edge treatment is consistent across both faces. |

| Additional information |
Pattern coins from the Central Bank of Swaziland are among the least-documented in southern African numismatics. Swaziland's central bank was established in 1974, and early pattern issues from this period were produced as the kingdom worked through proposed denominations that were ultimately abandoned before regular coinage series were finalized.
The shilling denomination was never adopted for circulation in Swaziland, which went on to issue the lilangeni as its standard unit.
