| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central device features a protea bloom — the national flower of South Africa — flanked on either side by two fasces-like bundles of reeds or sticks tied with crossbands, arranged diagonally, with a horizontal bundle of similar form above. Small floret ornaments appear at the lower left and right of the central design. The denomination 3D is displayed at the foot of the design in the lower field, with the designer's initials K G below the central motif. The bilingual legend SOUTH AFRICA · [date] · SUID AFRIKA curves around the upper periphery, separated by a central dot, with a beaded border encircling the entire reverse. |

South Africa's threepence series from this period sits at an awkward administrative intersection: the coins were struck under Union authority but with design approval ultimately deferred to London, a tension that produced the bilingual SUID-AFRIKA/SOUTH AFRICA legend as a hard-won political compromise rather than a simple stylistic choice. Afrikaner nationalist pressure during the 1920s forced the issue, and the dual-language coinage became law under the Currency and Banking Act of 1920.
The .800 silver standard adopted here was already a step down from sterling, chosen deliberately to discourage melting during the interwar commodity fluctuations that plagued the region's monetary supply.
