| Obverse description | Highly detailed frontal portrait of an African Cape buffalo head occupying the centre of the field, rendered with exceptional sculptural relief highlighting the massive curved horns, heavy boss, and textured hide. The date '2001' is inscribed in the upper field above the horns, while the legend 'SOUTH AFRICA' curves across the lower field beneath the portrait. Stylised linear grass motifs are incised into the background field, creating an artistic savannah setting. The engraver's initials 'ALS' appear in the lower field. |

| Reverse description | A three-quarter frontal view of an African Cape buffalo head and shoulders dominates the field, depicted in finely modelled high relief with naturalistic detailing of the hide, ears, and characteristic swept horns. The denomination '50c' is prominently inscribed in the lower right field in a stylised script. Decorative curved linear elements reminiscent of grass stalks are engraved into the mirror-polished background field. The engraver's initials 'AM' appear discreetly at lower left near the buffalo's shoulder. |
