Republic gold "Veld" Pond 1902 AU Details (Mount Removed) NGC, Pilgrims Rest mint, KM11, Fr-4. One of just 968 pieces of this wartime issue struck to pay Boer War soldiers; their charismatic designs and scarce numbers led to many being used in jewelry after the conflict, the present piece included. Despite this, its designs remain sharp and only minorly worn, its surfaces bright and sunny. Popular in any grade, a must-have South African rarity.
