ZAR
Proof Coins
When “President Paul Kruger” had the first indigenous currency of the Zuid Afrikaansche Republiek minted by the “Kaiser Mint” in Berlin in 1892, the coinage was to have a similar value to the colonial British currency. Of the total spectrum of denomination, the Kaiser mint also minted a very limited quantity of proof coins, using polished dies and blanks. These very special coins were presented to VIP’s and dignitaries. To own one of these 1892 ZAR proof coins must surely be one of the most prized coins a collector can hope to have in their collection.
