Koffyfontein was a diamond mining town in the Orange Free State, occupied by British forces in 1900. This note was issued under Boer authority during the guerrilla phase of the Anglo-Boer War, when the Republican government had collapsed as a formal entity and local commandants were improvising monetary instruments to requisition supplies and pay fighters in the field. These emergency issues were handwritten or crudely printed in small quantities and backed by nothing more than the issuing officer's word.

Survival rate is low not because of heavy use but because the British treated captured Boer paper as worthless upon surrender in May 1902.
