from the internet:-
Kruger Ponds
In 1960, South Africa became a republic and abandoned the British derived currency of Pounds, Shillings and Pence in favour of a decimal currency based on the Rand (valued at 10 old shillings). However, even before South Africa had become a unified British colony, the independent Boer Republics used a £sd system after the British model, no doubt due to the interflow of trade between the Boer Republics of the Transvaal and the Orange Free State and the British Cape Colony.
The Afrikaners made some slight alterations to the terminology with some of the coins however, as they did not want their denominations to be associated with British royalty, hence the Half-Crown was referred to simply as 'Two Shillings and Sixpence' and the Sovereign and Half-Sovereign equivalent were referred to as 'Pond' (Pound) and its half equivalent. The Kruger Ponds of the Boer Republics, shown here, were struck between 1892 and 1900. They are quite common due to the large concentrations of gold present in South Africa, which later led to the creation of a Branch of the Royal Mint being established there in 1923 in the city of Pretoria. Despite this, they are quite desirable and their total mintage is much less than those of British sovereigns.
