South Africa: Republic gold "Veld" Pond 1902 AU55 NGC,...

Description

Republic gold "Veld" Pond 1902 AU55 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. Among the most popular and fervently pursued types in South African numismatics, certified just shy of a nearly deserving Mint State assignment. Just 986 pieces of this type were manufactured to pay soldiers, with the majority handled, spent or placed into jewelry after the conflict concluded, rendering only a limited few available in straight technical grade to collectors of South African and World rarities.
