1902 Boer War Transvaal, gold 'Veld Pond'. Emergency issue 'ZAR 1902' rev 'EEN POND'. Authorised by acting President Schalk Burger, with dies made by P J Kloppers, struck at Pilgrim's Rest using equipment from a mining engineering/maintenance workshop (thus its 'Veld' or 'Field' Pond nickname). Graded NGC 'AU details, removed from jewellery", which has resulted in surfaces that are a bit bright but still with full details. Quite sharply struck for issue. Fr 4. KM 11. Only 986 minted with a very low survival rate. Attractive high grade example of this famous rarity. (P)
