Comments

Postać na rewersie monety jest alegorią nadziei, która często przedstawiana jest z kotwicą i gwiazdą jako przewodnikiem. Jest to prawdopodobnie odniesienie do Przylądka Dobrej Nadziei w RPA i hołd dla południowoafrykańskiej historii morskiej.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

The figure on the reverse of the coin is the allegory of hope, who is frequently depicted with an anchor and a star as a guide. This is likely a reference to South Africa's Cape of Good Hope and an homage to South African maritime history.
