This set was issued by the South African Mint in collaboration with the Berlin Mint, to commemorate the portrait of Paul Kruger by Berlin Mint designer Otto Schultz.
It contains a replica of the South African 5-shilling coin using the portrait which has the same specifications as the original (28.28 g of sterling silver, 38.61 mm in diameter), and a 1/10oz gold Krugerrand piece.
The set is presented in a wooden box including a numbered certificate of authenticity from the South African Mint (bullion Krugerrand coins are produced by Rand Refinery; the South African Mint produces and markets proofs and sets). |
