| 背面描述 | The central device features the quartered arms of the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek within an oval cartouche, displaying a lion passant, a standing figure, an anchor, and a wagon wheel in the four quarters. The shield is flanked by two pairs of Vierkleur flags on crossed staffs, rendered with fine detail. A displayed eagle with outstretched wings surmounts the entire composition. A scrolled ribbon banner below the shield bears the motto EENDRAGT MAAKT MAGT (Unity Makes Strength) in two lines. The circular legend ZUID AFRIKAANSCHE REPUBLIEK runs around the full periphery, and a small mintmark 'O' appears at the bottom of the field. |

The Burgers Pond was the first coin struck for the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek, commissioned by President Thomas François Burgers during his 1874 visit to Britain, where the dies were prepared and striking carried out at the Heaton Mint in Birmingham. The issue was deeply controversial back in the Transvaal — conservative Boer citizens objected to the obverse portrait on religious grounds, viewing a graven likeness of a man as bordering on idolatrous. Many refused to accept the coins.
Of the 837 pieces struck, approximately 695 were the "coarse beard" variety (Hern B2); the rarer "fine beard" B1 variety numbers around 142. The distinction lies in subtle die differences in the treatment of facial hair — consequential to collectors, irrelevant to the Boers who rejected the coin outright.
