Kruger Coins of 1892–1900

The discovery of gold in the Witwatersrand in 1885 turned the South African Republic from an impoverished state dominated by farmers to one where fortunes could be made from mining. In 1892 President Kruger, facing an election campaign, ordered the building of a mint and the striking of the republic's first full coinage series. The government, which contained a number of Hollanders and Germans, debated whether to base the Republic's coinage on the British coinage or whether to introduce a decimal coinage. Eventually it was decided to adopt the British coinage system as the basis of the Republic's system.

There were 12 pence in one shilling, and 20 shillings in one pond. These coins depict the portrait of the President Kruger. The name of the Republic was Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek, which was abbreviated on the obverse of the 1d, the 2½s, the 5s, the 1/2 pond, and the 1 pond.

In 1892 the coins that were issued are as follows;

• 1 penny. (Struck in 1893, 1894 and 1898).
• 3 pence or Tickey. (Struck 1893 to 1897).
• 6 pence. (Struck 1893 to 1897).
• 1 shilling. (Struck 1893 to 1897).
• 2 shillings. (Struck 1893 to 1897).
• 2½ shillings. (Struck 1893 to 1897).
• 5 shillings. (Struck in 1892 only).
• 1/2 pond. (Struck 1893 to 1897).
• 1 pond. (Struck through to 1900).

 Thecoins of the South African pound were part of the physical form of South Africa's historical currency, the South African pound. Prior to the Union of 1910, various authorities issued their own pounds, some as independent entities. After the Union but before 1923, coins in circulation were mostly British, but the coins of Paul Kruger's ZUID AFRIKAANSCHE REPUBLIEK remained in circulation. In 1923, South Africa began to issue its own coins. At that time South Africa's currency system was the same as in Great Britain: 12 pence (12d) = 1 shilling (1s), and 20s = 1 pound (£1). The term tickey is applied to both the 3d and 2½c coins.
