| Obverse description | Bust of Jan van Riebeeck facing right, rendered in high relief with flowing periwig hair and period costume with a tasselled cravat; a designer's initials appear in the lower left field. A panoramic background scene depicts Table Mountain rising above Cape Town harbour, flanked on either side by VOC sailing vessels at anchor. The legend JAN VAN RIEBEECK arches above on a ribbon banner, with KAAPSTAD inscribed immediately below it, all set against a deeply mirrored proof field. |

| Reverse description | The large interlaced VOC monogram dominates the centre of the field, with a full-rigged Dutch East Indiaman under sail depicted above it on a stylised sea. To the lower left, an anchor and navigational goods are arranged alongside trade commodities, while to the lower right, exotic produce including a pineapple and tropical fruits alludes to the Company's Asian and African trade. The circular legend VERENIGDE OOST-INDISCHE COMPAGNIE runs along the upper periphery, and the denomination 3 DAALDERS together with the date 1996 is inscribed in the lower field. |
