During 1890 - 91, a lease was granted to the Nationale Bank of the Zuid Afrikaansche Republiek (Z A R) to establish a State Mint in Pretoria. The coins were to be identical in weight with the prescription of the British Coinage Act of 1870. President Paul Kruger, anxious to get the new coins in circulation had placed orders for coins dated 1892 with the Berlin Imperial Mint. Kruger wanted to use the coins to gain popularity in

the 1892 elections.

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.
