is a unique coin. The Disselboom coins are the 1892 pond and 5s coins. One has to be very careful, as there are forgeries of the Disselboom coins, especially the 5s. A genuine Disselboom 5s must have the wheels on the wagon the same size. These coins were minted under the Presidency of Paul Kruger and bear his bust on the reverse and the coat of arms of the ZAR on the obverse. Penny (1D/pence): minted from 1892 until 1894 and then only 1898 Tickey (3D): minted from 1892 until 1897 Six Pence (6D): minted from 1892 until 1897 Shilling (1S): minted from 1892 until 1897 Two Shillings (2S):minted from 1892 until 1897 Half Crown (2.5S): minted from 1892 until 1897 Crown (5S): minted solely in 1892 with both a single and a double shaft Half Pond (£1/2): minted from 1892 until 1897 Pond (£1): minted from 1892 until 1902† Blank Pond (£1): minted in 1900 with either a rim or without one Veldpond (£1): only minted in 1902 † An 1899 pond was not minted because the dies, made in Germany, were intercepted and confiscated by the British.

These were struck by the mining magnate Sammy Marks. There were also contemporary jewellers' copies struck at the same time. The jewellers' copies are also in 22 carat (92%) gold, but they can be identified by the lack of stops in the Z.A.R. monogram at the top of the reverse.

The Veld Pond and the Kaal Pond The Second Anglo-Boer War broke out in October 1899 and in June 1900 the British under Lord Roberts occupied Pretoria, the capital of the South African Republic.
