Details: The RARE Z A R Kruger 5 SHILLINGS Metal: Silver 0.925 / 0.833 Copper 0.075 Mass: 28.2759 grams Diameter: 38.80 mm Not Signed Otto Schultz on the obverse or the reverse Description: Kruger Coinage In 1890/91 a lease was granted to the Nationale Bank of the 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 Kruger, anxious to get the new coins in circulation had placed orders for coins dated 1892 with the Berlin Imperial Mint. The 1892 issues, which were the first consignment of pounds, half pounds and crowns arrived with two shafts on the wagon and similar size front and rear wheels seen in the coat of arms on the reverse of the Z A R Pond. This caused quite a stir and subsequent 1892 pounds and crowns were issued with correct single shaft wagons and size wheels. Further consternation was caused by the Berlin 1892 issue. As was customary, the designer Otto Schultz had placed his initials O.S. below the bust of Kruger, which is Afrikaans for ox. The single shaft pound and double shaft crowns are the scarcer items. A single shaft 1892 half pound surfaced in the 1950's known as the "menne half pond". Listed mintage of the Z A R series do not tell the full story. Due to the late arrival of dies made in Berlin, the known quantities of coins minted in a specific year are not related to the quantities dated that year. The first coins to be struck by the State Mint bear the date 1892, but they were not struck until 1893. The scarcity of certain 1893 coins indicated that much fewer coins were struck bearing that date. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
