Lot Description
South Africa, Zuid Afrikaansche Republiek, gold blank Pond (1900), rimmed variety, the so-called 'Machadodorp' type (Hern Z56). Good very fine or better, rare. <p>
During the Second Boer War the advance of British troops on Pretoria in 1900 caused disruption to the activities of the Pretoria mint. Jan Smuts confiscated all the available coin and removed to Middelburg, where it was used to pay Boer troops, including these blanks which had originally been intended for striking ZAR Ponds. <p>
This lot is part of a private collection of quality coins 'The Property of a Gentleman', assembled over a forty year period by father and son (Lot 449-479).
