The Lost Hoard Gold Set: 1/10 Krugerrand & ZAR Half Pond
A rare, intriguing trove of South African gold coins discovered in a Swiss vault was released by the South African Mint in 2019. Named the lost hoard by the numismatic community, the Kruger gold Ponde and ½ Ponde were stored in the Netherlands during the early 20th century. The parcel was then transferred to Switzerland before the Second World War (1939--1945) for safekeeping and remained in a Swiss vault for decades, until it was recently sold at an auction.
Only 233 sets containing a privy marked 1/10 proof Krugerrand of 2019 and an original gold Kruger half pond has been released by the Mint. This is set number 47 and what makes it extra special is the high NGC grade the half pond of 1895 received being an AU53 grade (almost uncirculated).
A descriptive booklet on the "Lost Hoard" by Professor François Malan as well as a Certificate of Authenticity oy the South African Mint are included.
