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.
