South African Half Pond
Description South African Half Pond gold coins were made between 1892 and 1897 by the South African Mint/Rand Refinery. The South African Pond has the same specifications as the British half sovereign. The obverse of the coin features the portrait of Paul Kruger and the inscription ‘ZUID AFRIKAANSCHE REPUBLIEK’ which is the Dutch name for the South African republic. The reverse of the coin features the official South African heraldic symbol, the Transvaal coat of arms. The official motto of South Africa up until 2000 was ‘Unity is Strength’ and the writing on the scroll below reads ‘EENDRAG MAAK MAG’.
