Product information
Extremely rare single-shaft crown only 14000 minted a 120 years ago. Not graded, but i am sure this coin will reach a very high grade compare to other here on BOB!!! Please judge the condition of the coin for yourself. Attractive coin with excellent detail and lots of lustre. Increasingly difficult to find in high grades and an absolute must for any serious ZAR collector.
Just a little info regarding the 5 Shilling!!
Certain points of interest emerge - the Double Shaft ox wagon pieces were ALL struck in Germany and quickly halted once the error was discovered. The Berlin Mint Report states that the Z.A.R. ponde were struck in 1891, while the half-ponde and all the silver and bronze coins made in the Berlin Mint for the Z.A.R. were struck in 1892. It seems certain, therefore, that these ponde were struck with the 1892 dies as no pond bearing date 1891 has ever come to light. It also seems certain that all the ponde, half-ponde and five-shilling pieces struck in Berlin were "double-shafted". The first pieces with the single-shaft wagon appear to have been struck in Pretoria on the following dates:
- Ponde struck in 1893 with 1892 dies,
- Half-ponde struck in 1894 with 1893 dies,
- Five-shillings struck in 1893 with 1892 dies.
