| Obverse description | The intertwined monogram 'Z.A.R.' (Zuid Afrikaansche Republiek) occupies the central field, hand-engraved in a bold, cursive script with decorative flourishes and dot punctuation between letters. The date '1902' is inscribed in the lower portion of the field in similarly hand-cut numerals. The overall design is characteristically crude and improvised, reflecting its origin as a field emergency coinage struck under wartime conditions during the Second Anglo-Boer War. No legend surrounds the design, and the planchet surface retains visible file marks consistent with its primitive manufacture. |

| Reverse description | The Afrikaans denomination 'EEN POND' (One Pound) is rendered in two lines across the central field, hand-engraved in large, irregular capital letters with pronounced decorative serifs and flourishes. The lettering fills the field boldly, with 'EEN' above and 'POND' below, both executed in the same primitive hand-cut technique characteristic of this wartime emergency issue. The flat, unadorned field surrounding the inscription bears surface marks consistent with improvised striking. No border legend, device, or mint mark is present. |
