| Reverse description | A detailed, naturalistic depiction of an African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) occupies the central field, shown in full profile standing on a grassy ground line, its massive horned head turned slightly toward the viewer. The animal is rendered with careful attention to musculature and texture, conveying a sense of weight and power. The inscription FIVE SHILLINGS appears along the lower periphery in raised Latin lettering. A beaded border frames the entire design. |
