| Reverse description | A finely detailed underwater scene dominates the field, with a large Great White Shark (Carcharodon carcharias) rendered in high relief, swimming powerfully from right to left across the centre of the coin. A school of smaller fish is depicted beneath and to the right of the shark, while coral formations and rock structures frame the upper and side margins of the design, conveying a naturalistic marine environment. The denomination 'R2' appears in the lower left field, accompanied by the engraver's initials 'W.L.' The overall composition demonstrates a high standard of sculptural artistry characteristic of South African Mint commemorative issues. |
