| Obverse description | The South African national coat of arms, introduced in 2000, occupies the brass centre of the coin. The arms feature a Secretary Bird with outstretched wings above a shield, flanked by ears of wheat and supported by a spear and knobkierie. The motto '!KE Eː ǀXARRA ǁKE' in the ǀXam language of the Khoisan people is inscribed on a ribbon below the shield. The date appears at the top of the copper-nickel outer ring, flanked by two small dots, with the country name in Sotho ('Aforika Borwa') to the left and in Zulu ('Afrika Borwa') to the right, both reading upward. |
