Description:
This 1892 replica set minted by the Berlin Mint, commemorates these unique coins namely the 5 shilling gold (minted in 22ct gold and weighing 39.94 grams), the 5 shilling that had been minted in silver at the time (initially minted in two varieties - the single shaft and the double shaft), and the 1 penny that was struck in bronze at the time , and was the proof version which has a mintage of 10 - 20 only, struck in copper for this set.
Paul Kruger wanted to give the Post Master General a special gift for his contribution to the development of a postal system in the new Z A R. He authorised the minting of only one 5 shilling gold coin dated 1892 with his portrait on the obverse, and on the reverse, and engraved a short sentence - and awarded it to Isaac van Alphern, Post Master General of Z A R in recognition of his services on the 5 September 1895.
