 Description:

In less than 20 years, Johannesburg was created out of the indigenous veld into a wealthy mining city. Gold was discovered in the 1880s and triggered the gold rush. Gold was initially discovered some 400 km to the east of present-day Johannesburg, in Barberton. Gold prospectors soon discovered that there were even richer gold reefs in the Witwatersrand. Gold was discovered at Langlaagte, Johannesburg in 1886. The discovery of gold brought the Industrial Revolution to South Africa, changing it from a land based economy to an industrial one. As trade became established, traders began to ask for money, rather than the barter of goods, which was easier to exchange and better to transport. 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 President Kruger, facing an election campaign, ordered the building of a mint and the striking of the republic's first full coinage series.

Paul Kruger was a descendant of German immigrants to South Africa. His ancestor, Jacobus Krüger, immigrated from Berlin to South Africa in 1713 to work as a mercenary for the Dutch East India Company (VOC).
