A reason why the ZAR coins are so sought after is that they are rarer than almost any other countries’ coins. This is due to the fact that they were really a token coinage. The ZAR (Zuid Afrikaansche Republiek) was a small new country, struggling against British domination. Although the coins were produced as a commercial coinage, fewer coins were produced than the amount needed to facilitate commercial activities. Although coins were produced by the ZAR, the vast majority of commercial activities were done with British coins. This new country had a multitude of problems to deal with. The production of coinage, contrary to what people may think, is not an easy matter. The country was so new, that it did not even have a mint or bank. The government was also young and inexperienced.

President Paul Kruger of the ZAR was trying to establish a domestic currency for the new young nation, which was established in 1852. He quickly became an international icon.
