Schultz Description: The
only date lacking for the one-pound series from 1892 through 1900 is 1899. The Mint did not produce coins from January 1, 1898 through September
30, 1899. It was reopened at
that time to strike pound coins needed for the war against Great Britain,
which had broken out over continued Boer frustration with British policies. The dies dated 1899 were intercepted by the British en route to the
Mint, so there was no option but to use ones dated 1898. A normal output (137,000) of one-pound coins was produced, but some
130 pieces were then counterstamped below Kruger’s bust with the numerals
‘99’ to correctly identify their year of manufacture. Why so few were counterstamped and why the Mint bothered to do this
at all is still unclear; perhaps these pieces were reserved for assaying
purposes. They are very rare
today, and dangerous counterfeits
exist. A unique example is
stamped with a single numeral ‘9’ in the same location. The
final issue of pound coins was produced in the early months of 1900 from
dies bearing that date (these managed to get through from Berlin). Before Pretoria fell to the British on June 5, the ZAR’s capital
was temporarily relocated to Middelburg, and all of the gold and silver
stored in Pretoria was carried away to safety. Wartime conditions prevented further coinage of the regular Kruger
type of pound and half pound, and this series ended in 1900. HAVE IT IN YOUR
