The engraver's initials CLS appear in the right field near the animal's haunches. The bilingual legend SOUTH AFRICA and SUID-AFRIKA flanks the date at the upper periphery, separated by raised dots, while the denomination 5 SHILLINGS is inscribed along the lower arc, all enclosed within a finely denticulated border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
South Africa's crown-sized five shillings continued under George VI using the SEXTVS REX Latin title, a formulation that had caused quiet controversy when first introduced — Latin numerical styling for British monarchs was already archaic by the twentieth century, and its use on South African coinage reflected the Union's own constitutional positioning rather than any London preference. The 1948–1950 window is historically compressed: George VI died in February 1952, and the Union itself became a republic in 1961, making these late-reign crowns among the final issues before both the monarchy and the currency structure they underpinned were wound down.
The .800 silver specification distinguished these from sterling-standard British crowns of the same period.
