Edge: Plain

Obverse: Bust of Paul Kruger facing left (same style as Z.A.R. coinage)

Reverse: In the middle across: “P. KRÜGER / PRESIDENT”. Legend: “ZUID AFRIKAANSCHE REPUBLIEK”

Notes: Crudely cast in a poor quality base metal alloy probably using a mould made from a ZAR two shilling piece. Often found with a nick at the top where the loop has broken off.

An uncommon variety exists. Minor changes to both sides. Most notably a stop has been added at the foot of the obverse.
