| Reverse description | A large plain field intended for engraving of the recipient's name, framed by two botanical branches in relief — a fynbos-type sprig to the left and an olive-like branch to the right. At the base, the coat of arms of the Cape Colony is depicted in relief, featuring a shield with floral quarterings and a lion passant, surmounted by a scroll bearing the motto SPERO MELIORA. The legend AWARDED TO arcs across the upper field. |
