The shield is flanked by a palm branch to the left and a laurel branch to the right, tied at the base with a ribbon. The circular legend ORANJE VRYJSTAAT (Orange Free State) arcs above, with the motto GEDULD EN MOED (Patience and Courage) on a ribbon below the shield, and the date 1888 at the bottom of the field. |
