During the Second Boer War the advance of British troops on Pretoria in 1900 caused disruption to the activities of the Pretoria mint. Jan Smuts confiscated all the available coin and removed to Middelburg, where it was used to pay Boer troops, including these blanks which had originally been intended for striking ZAR Ponds.
