ABOUT
THE BURGERSPOND
The
Burgers "staatspond" of 1874 was the first coin ever struck
for a South African government. It was made from some of the first
gold ever found in the country which was to become the world's richest
source of this precious metal. It is one of the greatest rarities
in the whole South African coinage series. Small wonder then that
it has pride of place as a great numismatic star in the eyes of
every South African coin collector. (Taken from
