Description:
The reverse of the 2 1/2cent tickey shows a single dolos with the denomination 2 1/2 cent, while the obverse features the words 'South Africa' with the year 2016 and a Protea.
Eric Mowbray Merrifield, an East London harbour engineer from 1961 to 1967, is credited with the invention of the dolos, but in the late 1990's Aubery Kruger, Merrifield's young draughtsman, claimed he and Merrifield considered the shape of the concrete blocks together to be used in the protection of East London's extensive breakwaters following damage done by a storm in 1963. Merrifield died in 1982 and Kruger's claim cannot be settled either way. source: S A Mint
