Description
Exceedingly Rare "99" Counterstamped 1898 Pond
Republic gold Pond 1898 Stamped "99", KM10.2, AU details improperly cleaned, NCS, a major rarity in the South Africa series. During the Boer War, the dies for the South African 1899 Ponds were intercepted by the British in Lourenzo Marques. To mark the wartime opening of the mint it was decided to overstamp 1898 Ponds with a 99 overstamp below Kruger's bust. 130 of these overstamps were produced and are now extremely rare. This example was sold by Spink London in 1970. A certificate of authenticity signed by Douglas Lidell of Spink's is enclosed. It was later pictured as the cover coin on Bickels circular in June 1971.More information about South African Coins. See also: South Africa World Coin Nationality.
