| Reverse description | The central device features the oval arms of the Zuid Afrikaansche Republiek, quartered with a figure of a Boer settler, an anchor, a cannon on wheels, and a rocky landscape, all enclosed within an ornate oval shield. Two Vierkleur flags on crossed staffs flank the shield on either side, and a displayed eagle with wings spread surmounts the entire composition. A ribbon scroll below bears the motto EENDRACHT MAAKT MAGT (Unity Makes Strength). The circumferential legend ZUID AFRIKAANSCHE REPUBLIEK runs around the upper periphery, with a small rosette ornament at the base, all within a toothed border. |
