| 背面描述 | The arms of the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek occupy the central field, depicting the full coat of arms: a circular shield supported by two flags and surmounted by a displayed eagle with wings spread. The shield itself features a quartered design with a lion passant, a figure with a rifle, a wagon, and an anchor. Below the arms, a foliate wreath frames two scrolling banners bearing the motto 'EENDRAGT MAAKT MAGT' (Unity Makes Strength). The denomination '1/2 POND' arcs along the left field and the date of issue along the right field, each flanked by a small five-pointed star. A toothed border ring frames the entire composition. |

The Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek began striking its own gold coinage only after the Witwatersrand discoveries of 1886 made it politically and economically necessary — Kruger's government could finally back a national currency with domestic gold rather than relying on British and Cape Colony coin. The Pretoria Mint, established in 1892, was the only sovereign mint on African soil at the time.
Production ran just five years before the Anglo-Boer War ended the Republic's independence entirely. Pieces dated 1892 are notably scarcer than the 1894–1897 issues.
