Obverse description		New national coat of arms for South Africa (adopted on 27 April 2000), the country name in Tsonga language, date above. The Coat of Arms has many elements organized into two oval groups, one on top of the other. Together the two ovals create a symbol of infinity. The Lower or Foundation Oval: At the base is the motto "Diverse People Unite" written in the Khoisan language of the ǀXam people. On either side of the motto, pairs of elephant tusks. The tusks enclose two ears of wheat. At the centre is a shield. On the shield are depicted two Khoisan figures. The Khoisan are the oldest inhabitants of South Africa. The figures on the shield are based on the Linton Panel (a world-famous piece of rock art now housed in the South African Museum in Cape Town), and face each other in greeting and unity. Above the shield, a crossed spear and knobkierie (a traditional fighting stick) separate the lower oval from the upper oval. The Upper or Ascendant Oval At the centre is the South African National Flower, the King Protea. It is comprised of interlocking diamonds. The protea forms the chest of the secretary bird, whose head and wings stretch out above it. Between its wings, the rising sun. Engraver: Arthur Sutherland	South Africa coat of arms with the motto "diverse people united"
Reverse description		Depicts standing Blue Crane with large denomination at left. 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. The Blue Crane was modeled by Gert Richards. The design was developed from an original artwork by the well-known artist, Dick Findley. The artwork is on display at the South African Mint’s museum.	Blue Crane and value
