The obverse features Jan van Riebeeck in a frontal close-up. Riebeeck was an important political figure, the founder of Cape Town, and the first colonial leader to found Dutch settlements in Africa.

The first engraving written in the African dialect surrounding Riebeeck’s image, “EENDRAG MAAK,” corresponds to the second engraving in English, “UNITY IS STRENGTH,” and is the South African official motto.

The reverse design features the Springbok Antelope designed by Coert Steynberg. This antelope is a native animal that became a national symbol and is also present in the design of Gold Krugerrand coins.

The inscriptions encircling the reverse image have the nation’s name written in both official languages, the year of issuance on top, and the face value '2 R' (2 Rand) at the bottom rim.
