| Obverse description | The post-apartheid South African coat of arms occupies the central field, featuring a secretary bird with outstretched wings above an oval shield bearing a Khoisan figure, flanked by a spear and a knobkierie, with a rising sun above and ears of wheat below. The motto in the ǀXam language, ǃKE Eː ǀXARRA ǁKE, appears inscribed on a banner at the base of the arms. The country name SOUTH AFRICA is rendered in the left field in vertical legend, with the abbreviated motto ALS appearing at the bottom. The date 2011 is inscribed above the coat of arms. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a stylized depiction of the bird-of-paradise flower (Strelitzia reginae), popularly known in South Africa as the crane flower, rendered in bold relief at the center of the field. The denomination 50c appears to the upper left of the floral motif, with the engraver's initials LL inscribed discreetly in the field. The design is clean and uncluttered, emphasizing the iconic national flower against a plain background. |
