| Reverse description | A blue wildebeest (Connochaetes taurinus) is depicted in left-facing profile at the centre of the brass inner disc, conveying the wildlife heritage of South Africa, with the denomination '5' prominently displayed above and 'RAND' below. The copper-nickel outer ring features a security micro-text pattern with the abbreviation 'SARB' (South African Reserve Bank) repeated multiple times on both sides of the animal — approximately 32 times at left and 25 times at right — forming a decorative and anti-counterfeiting border element. The design is clean and uncluttered, with the value numerals and text rendered in bold, legible characters. The engraver's initials may appear in the field. The bimetallic composition clearly delineates the central motif from the surrounding inscription ring. |
