Jacobus Johannes "Jim" Fouché (1898-1980) served as the second State President of South Africa from 1968 to 1975. He was the only State President to serve his full seven-year term of office, as well as having the second-longest presidency to date (after Thabo Mbeki, who surpassed him on 14 June 2006).

Depicts standing Blue Crane with large denomination at right. Engraver's initials below.

The Blue Crane (Anthropoides Paradisea) is the national bird of South Africa and is found throughout the large Savannah areas of South Africa, usually near water. Each bird is about 105 cm tall with both sexes identical. Identification is easy because of the large head with dark brown irises and a pinkish bill. Nesting pairs seem to mate for life and use the same nesting sites. The Blue Crane population is thriving.

As the Blue Crane is more-or-less confined to South Africa, it has been used only on South African coins.
