Republic gold "Veld" Pond 1902 MS61 NGC, Pilgrims Rest mint, KM11, Fr-4, Hern-Z54. Struck during the Second Boer War by Boer forces on the run from the British, set up in the veld (long grass) of Pilgrims Rest in northeastern Transvaal. A tremendous representative of this historically important and widely sought-after type, combining lustrous surfaces with a sharp strike that leaves the obverse and reverse motifs expressed to their fullest, drawing the viewer's gaze toward these features and rendering the minor hairlines, which essentially establish the grade, relatively inconsequential in hand. A scattering of fine die polish can be found on both sides, heightening the sense of originality amidst a consistent and glowing golden brilliance. Truly admirable for the type, and seemingly destined for a high-end cabinet of South African or world rarities.
