1896 South African Republic (ZAR) 1 Shilling coin brooch

About the Item

This brooch is made from two 1896 South African Republic (ZAR) 1 Shilling coins, featuring the profile of Paul Kruger, president of the ZAR. The coins are made of silver (0.925 fine) and were minted during a period of economic prosperity fueled by gold discoveries in the Transvaal region. The South African Republic (ZAR) was an independent Boer state established in 1852 and led by Paul Kruger from 1883 to 1900. Known for his leadership and resistance against British imperialism, Kruger’s image on the coins symbolizes Afrikaner identity and pride. These coins were produced between 1892 and 1897, just before the Second Boer War (1899–1902), which led to the British annexation of the ZAR. Coin jewelry like this brooch became popular as a way to preserve historical coins and commemorate the ZAR’s heritage. This piece not only reflects the craftsmanship of its time but also serves as a tangible reminder of South Africa’s rich and complex history.
