| Obverse description | Central design depicts a figure of a sower in left profile, carrying a seed basket, set against a sequence of five open books in diminishing perspective suggesting flight or dissemination, with a bird in the upper field. The bilingual circular legend reads 'BIBLE SOCIETY OF SA' on the left and 'BYBELGENOOTSKAP VAN SA' on the right. In the lower segment, the legend 'BIBLIATHON' appears above four small cartouches bearing a globe symbol, the fineness mark 'S999', the numeral 'V', and the mint mark 'SAM'; the engraver's initials 'SE' appear to the right of the lowest book. |
