A fascinating ZAR commemorative piece celebrating the famous Kruger Pond, featuring President Paul Kruger on one side and the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek arms with the date 1896 on the other. This is not a genuine gold 1 Pond coin and was never intended to pass as one; it belongs to the family of imitation / commemorative Pond pieces produced in connection with the iconic ZAR gold coinage. Numista records these pieces as brass counter tokens rather than official gold currency, with a number of known varieties.
The original Kruger Pond was an official .917 gold circulation coin of the ZAR, struck between 1892 and 1900, making these commemorative pieces an interesting and affordable way to represent one of South Africas most famous historic coin types in a collection.
