| Reverse description | A springbok in full stride, facing right, depicted in naturalistic relief against a schematic landscape ground with scattered vegetation, the design executed by sculptor Coert Laurens Steynberg whose initials CLS appear in the field to the lower right of the animal. The bilingual legend SUID-AFRIKA and SOUTH AFRICA arcs around the upper periphery, flanking the date 1951, while the denomination 5S appears in the lower field between two rosette stops. A toothed border frames the entire design. |
