Republic gold Kaalpond ND (c. 1900) Authentic NGC, Hern-Z55. 8.00gm. Also known as the "Rimless Blank Ponde". Hairlined throughout the surfaces. Produced at the Pretoria mint where the striking process was never finished before the government seized all available funds to pay the troops. It was subsequently discovered that some of these "Kaalponds" were incomplete, but by that point some of these issues had irrevocably entered circulation.
