| Obverse description | Left-facing crowned and draped bust of King George V, wearing the Imperial State Crown and military uniform with decorations visible at the chest. The effigy, modelled by Edgar Bertram MacKennal, is rendered in high relief with fine detail to the crown's jewelled band and arched framework. The engraver's initials 'B.M.' appear on the truncation. The circumferential legend reads GEORGIVS V REX IMPERATOR, interrupted at the top by the crown, and the entire design is bordered by a dentillated rim. |

| Reverse description | A centrally placed Protea flower in bloom, with broad petals and a prominent domed centre, rising from a leafed stem above the designer's initials 'K.G.' The floral motif is framed by six diagonal fasces-like bundles of reeds arranged symmetrically in pairs at the upper left, upper right, lower left, lower right, and flanking sides, forming a geometric lattice around the central device. The bilingual legend SOUTH AFRICA and ZUID-AFRIKA arcs around the upper field, with the denomination 6 PENCE appearing at the base, all separated by small lozenge stops. The design is enclosed by a dentillated border. |
