| Obverse description | Two miners in high relief occupy the central field: one kneeling and one seated, both examining a piece of ore. The legend 'SILVER TROYAN' arcs prominently across the upper field, with '20 TROY OUNCES 999 FINE SILVER' following the inner curve above the figures, flanked by the dates '1683' and '1983'. A commemorative inscription in the lower field reads 'COMMEMORATING THREE HUNDRED YEARS OF MINING IN SOUTH AFRICA', with a beaded inner border encircling the design. |
