This 1898 1 Pond from the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek is a premier example of late-19th-century gold coinage, struck at the Pretoria Mint during Paul Kruger's presidency. Minted just before the Second Boer War, it captures a pivotal moment in Transvaal history and the region's drive for monetary independence.
The obverse presents Paul Kruger's bust; the reverse displays the Transvaal coat of arms.
