| Reverse description | A left-facing portrait bust of Nadine Gordimer dominates the left portion of the field, rendered in moderate relief with artistic detail. To the right of the portrait, an extract from her writings is engraved in a stylized script overlapping the field, with the words TRUTH, BEAUTY, BUT THE HUNGER FOR IT IS prominently legible. The denomination R5 appears in large raised numerals at centre-right. Below the portrait, the facsimile signature Nadine Gordimer is inscribed, accompanied by the inscription LITERARY NOBEL LAUREATE along the lower field. The fineness mark 1/10 oz Au 999.9 and the engraver's initials CM appear along the upper border. |
