The Great Britain Coinage used in the ZAR (Zuid Afrikaansche Republic) during the British occupation. Victoria became Queen in 1837 when she was 18 years old. During Queen Victoria's time,the empire was made possible because of the Industrial Revolution, which made Britain's army and navy powerful. Dutch East India Company had founded the Cape Colony on the southern tip of Africa in 1652 as a way station for its ships travelling to and from its colonies in the East Indies. Britain formally acquired the colony, and its large Afrikaner (or Boer) population in 1806, having occupied it in 1795 in order to prevent its falling into French hands, following the invasion of the Netherlands by France. British immigration began to rise after 1820. South Africa experienced a transformation between 1870, when the diamond rush to Kimberley began, and 1902, when the Anglo Boer War ended. Midway between these dates, in 1886, the world’s largest goldfields were discovered on the Witwatersrand. Societies of European South Africa began to urbanize and industrialize, the region evolved into a major supplier of precious minerals to the world economy; gold especially was urgently needed to back national currencies and ensure the continued flow of expanding international trade. British colonies, Boer republics, and African kingdoms all came under British control. These dramatic changes were propelled by two linked forces: the development of a capitalist mining industry and a sequence of imperialist interventions by Britain.

| VICTORIA had been proclaimed Queen of Great Britain on June 20, 1837. Now she was Queen of more than Great Britain, for the ever-increasing commerce and colonization had brought new lands under her rule. It was appropriate that her Jubilee in 1887 should be celebrated by representatives gathered from all parts of the Empire, as well as by royal princes from the courts of Europe. Three times only in the whole of England's history had a sovereign reigned for fifty years.I |
