where does the name veld pond come from
Coins of the South African pound The South African(ZAR) or Transvaal Republic, the Boer state that in 1902 was to become the Transvaal Colony. The Transvaal issued coins bearing the bust of President Thomas François Burgers in 1874 and from 1892 to 1902 coins denominated as 1, 3 (or a tickey), and 6 pence; 1, 2, 2½, and 5 shillings; and ½ and 1 pond were issued bearing the likeness of President Paul Kruger.[9] The last of these coins were issued in 1900, except for siege 1-pond coins issued in 1902.
