| Beschrijving keerzijde | The arms of the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek are rendered centrally within a circular frame, displaying a quartered shield bearing an anchor and a Voortrekker ox-wagon, supported on the left by a recumbent lion and on the right by a standing Boer burgher holding a rifle. Below the shield, two crossed cannons and a rose adorn the base of the design. The legend 1 PENNY arcs across the upper left and the date 1898 across the upper right, separated by a five-pointed star at the apex. A rope-pattern border matching the obverse encloses the entire composition. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek penny was struck at the Pretoria Mint, which Kruger's government established specifically to assert fiscal independence from British-controlled monetary channels — a pointed political act in a region where Rand gold was already reshaping imperial ambitions. The mint had only opened in 1892, and early production runs struggled with equipment sourced from Germany and an inexperienced local workforce, resulting in inconsistent strike quality across the series that collectors now use to differentiate die states.
Within six years of the first penny's issue, the Anglo-Boer War had ended the Republic's existence entirely.
