| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
South Africa's threepence series under George VI ran into an abrupt constitutional wall: the King's death in February 1952 ended the series, but the more disruptive event came earlier, with South Africa's 1948 general election bringing the National Party to power under D.F. Malan. The new government's push toward a republic made British imperial coinage politically uncomfortable almost immediately, accelerating the timeline toward eventual monetary separation from the Crown. Coins dated within this window were struck knowing the series was politically, if not yet officially, on borrowed time.
