| Additional information |
The Orange Free State struck pattern coinage in 1887 as part of a broader push toward monetary independence from British-controlled banking networks, but full circulation coinage never materialized — the republic lacked both a mint and sufficient political will to fund one. This piece exists as a pattern, not a circulating issue, and only a handful were produced. The Hern reference places it among the rarest of all South African republic coinage, with confirmed examples numbering in the single digits.
