| Obverse description | The post-apartheid Coat of Arms of the Republic of South Africa occupies the brass centre, featuring a secretary bird with outstretched wings surmounting a shield charged with two human figures, flanked by wheat stalks and an elephant tusk on each side, with the national motto 'ǀKe eː ǀxarra ǁke' inscribed on the scroll at the base. The mintmaster's initials 'ALS' appear in the lower field of the centre. The copper-nickel outer ring carries the country name in two official languages — 'Afrika Borwa' at left and 'Suid-Afrika' at right — along with the date '2008' at the top, all separated by decorative dots. |
