| 表面の説明 | Right-facing uncrowned effigy of King George VI, rendered in high relief after the portrait by Thomas Humphrey Paget. The legend GEORGIVS VI REX IMPERATOR encircles the bust, with the engraver's initials HP truncating the neck. The design follows the standard Commonwealth portrait adopted at the beginning of the reign in 1937. |

| 裏面の説明 | A centrally placed Protea cynaroides (King Protea), the national flower of South Africa, rendered in fine detail with petals and leaves clearly delineated, engraved by George Kruger Gray with his initials KG visible in the field. Six bundles of fasces-like crossed staves radiate symmetrically around the floral motif, evoking the six provinces of the Union of South Africa. The bilingual legend SOUTH·AFRICA·SUID·AFRIKA arcs around the upper periphery with the date, while the denomination 6D appears at the base flanked by ornamental devices. |

South Africa's silver sixpence series under George VI ran from his coronation year through the final issues before the composition was debased — after 1947, the .800 silver was abandoned in favour of lower-grade alloy. The Pretoria Mint struck these throughout, one of the few Commonwealth mints with full production autonomy during the war years, which kept supply relatively stable even as British domestic coinage was severely disrupted.
The 1947 date is the last of the silver run and typically shows the highest circulation wear, having entered use just as post-war economic pressure peaked.
