Descripción del reverso A seated and draped female figure facing left, holding a corn stalk in her right hand, at her feet an overflowing cornucopia and her left hand is supporting a shield. In the centre of the shield there is a quartered, circular design, having the coat-of-arms of the territories comprising the union, the Cape Colony, the Transvaal Republic, the Orange Free State and the Colony of Natal, in each quadrant. The background of the shield is the British Union Jack which encroaches and obscures the arms of the Transvaal. Behind the female there is a radiant sun and, on the left, mine headgear and a man tilling a field with an ox-drawn plough. Inscription around the perimeter, date in the exergue, and the maker`s name on the exergue line.
