| Reverse description | The central device, designed by George Kruger Gray, features a centrally placed protea bloom — the national flower of South Africa — flanked by two crossed bundles of sticks (fasces-like sheaves), all rendered in fine relief. Above the floral motif, a decorative horizontal panel bearing a stylised geometric pattern is set between two small ornamental devices. The denomination '3D' appears prominently in the lower central field, flanked on each side by a small six-petalled rosette. The bilingual legend SOUTH AFRICA · 1948 · SUID AFRIKA curves around the upper periphery in Latin script, with the date incorporated between the two country-name inscriptions, the entire design enclosed within a beaded border. |
