Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 07/27/2016 11:53 am I liked the eye-appeal of this circulated 1898 South African Penny. It was a minor purchase costing me $7.00, shipping included. It's my first coin from pre-1900 South Africa. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff

UltraRant Pillar of the Community Norway 1358 Posts	Posted 07/27/2016 1:18 pm It's a beautiful coin. Very nice that it didn't make you go bankrupt, too! For what I know about this coin, it's a specific one of the Transvaal region (Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek) with a nice portrait of Paul Kruger and his long beard. So it's not of the South Africa as we know it today. Report this Post to the Staff

Found my old topic showing coins that I have: https://goccf.com/t/56787 The reverse of the penny has the coat of arms which was on Kruger's wagon.
