| Reverse description | A blue crane (Anthropoides paradiseus), the national bird of South Africa, depicted standing in profile facing left on a rocky ground line, rendered with fine naturalistic detail including its elongated tail feathers. The denomination 5c appears prominently to the right of the bird in large numerals, with the engraver's initials T.S. inscribed in the lower right field. The design fills the flan cleanly with minimal exergue ornamentation. |
