Serious ZAR Collectors Should Know How Scarce this Coin Is
In 1898, Marks was allowed the extraordinary privilege of using the state mint for a day. Marks struck 215 golden tickeys – three penny pieces that are normally made of silver – as keepsakes for his relatives and friends, including naturally, the President and members of the Volksraad (People’s council). The gold would have probably come from the Sheba mine, the only gold mine that Marks had a substantial stake of.
This famous incident is probably the best known of all the Sammy Marks’ stories and says much about the personal relationship that these two men had. There was often a blurring of the relationship between personal and private property and State property. Their relationship was almost feudal in nature, as with that of a king and widely regarded subject.
