Vorderseitenbeschreibung The obverse is printed on green-tinted paper and carries the heading 'Zuid Afrikaansche Republiek' in ornate lettering at the top centre, flanked by the arms of the Republic. Large decorative denomination panels reading 'EEN' appear at the lower left and right, with a '£1' cypher in each upper corner. A central text block in Dutch sets out the legislative authority for the note's issue, followed by the place and date of issue 'PRETORIA, Z.A. REPUBLIEK' and a manuscript date. Three manuscript signature lines occupy the lower portion, identified by printed captions for the Geokter, Thesaurier, Lid der Commissie, and Staats President, with 'Een Pond' repeated in letterpress at each lower corner.

Anmerkungen

The Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek's earliest paper currency was a product of sheer necessity. The Pretoria-printed notes of 1871–1872 were produced locally by William Brown & Co. at a time when the Republic had no established banking infrastructure and limited access to European printing houses. The result was a technically rudimentary issue — hand-signed, with none of the intaglio security work that contemporary European printers were employing.

These are among the earliest government-issued notes from the Transvaal, predating the formation of De Nationale Bank by over a decade.
