Schalk Burger, Veld Pond, 1902, 8.06g/12h (Hern Z54; KM. 11; F 4). Possibly removed from a mount, cleaned at some time, otherwise extremely fine £2,500-3,000

Although it is possible that this piece has been mounted, the gaps in the edge milling (at 7, 9 and 10 o’clock) are not where one would expect a mount to be placed. The circumstances under which these coins were struck also means that their manufacture was less than perfect
