| Obverse description | The coat of arms of South Africa occupies the central field, depicting a secretary bird with outstretched wings above a shield charged with a Voortrekker wagon wheel, supported by two San figures and flanked by ears of wheat and a protea flower. The national motto in the Khoisan !Ke eː ǀXarra ǁKe appears on a scroll at the base of the arms, with the engraver's initials ALS below. The date 2013 is inscribed at the top of the field, while the bilingual country name uMzantsi Afrika and Suid-Afrika curves along the left and right rims respectively, all in Latin script. |

| Reverse description | A detailed architectural rendering of the Union Buildings in Pretoria dominates the field, depicted in a sweeping perspective view that emphasizes the curved colonnaded wings and central domed rotunda of Herbert Baker's neoclassical design. The denomination numeral 2 appears prominently in the upper right portion of the field, immediately followed by the word RAND in capital letters. The commemorative legend 100 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE UNION BUILDINGS is inscribed in three lines to the right of the building, with the engraver's initials MJS positioned at the lower right of the field. |
