Description:
Springbok above denomination.
Springbok, a type of antelope (or gazelle). Springboks are grazers, and they inhabit the vast grass plains in the western part of the southern tip of Africa.
The Springbok is the national animal of South Africa and has been hunted since stone age times. Export of its hide is a booming business and its population is considered to be expanding.
Translation: Glory to God alone.
