SOUTH AFRICA. 1/2 Pond, 1893. Pretoria Mint. NGC VF-35. Fr-3; KM-9.2; Hern-Z39. A <strong>VERY RARE</strong> problem free Pond from this famous key date of South African coinage. Despite moderate circulation, rich orange-gold and deep honey color is still bright and somewhat dynamic. The majority of design detail remains to be enjoyed across Krugers portrait and the arms of the South African Republic, and marks are inconsequential on surfaces that are remarkably smooth. Not an opportunity to be taken lightly, this original Choice Very Fine coin is far nicer than most and has much to offer South African gold enthusiasts.
