| Beschrijving voorzijde | The full coat of arms of the Zuid Afrikaansche Republiek occupies the central field, depicting a quartered shield supported by crossed flags and surmounted by a displayed eagle; the shield quarters feature a lion rampant, a standing figure with a rifle, an anchor, and an ox wagon, representing the emblems of the Transvaal Republic. The entire armorial device is enclosed within a raised pearled border. The legend ZUID AFRIKAANSCHE REPUBLIEK is arranged in a circular inscription around the periphery, reading from lower left to lower right. A small decorative star ornament appears at the base of the design below the coat of arms. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The South African Republic's 1874 pattern coinage was produced in London as part of an early attempt by the Transvaal government to establish its own currency infrastructure — an ambition that repeatedly stalled due to the republic's chronic fiscal instability and the political complications of operating a mint in a landlocked territory still heavily dependent on British commercial networks. These patterns never entered circulation; the ZAR would not produce circulating coinage until the Pretoria Mint opened in 1892.
The Hern reference places this among a small family of trial pieces from the same year, most struck in limited numbers for governmental evaluation.
