1892 Half Kruger Pond Single Shaft
The Unique 1892 Half Kruger Pond Single Shaft
This coin is believed to be unique, with only one specimen known to exist worldwide.
Very little verified information is available about this elusive piece, and no authenticated images have ever been published.
Given its singularity, the 1892 Half Kruger Pond Single Shaft is widely regarded as one of the most valuable and mysterious coins in the ZAR series—its worth likely reaching an exceptional figure if ever brought to market.
Some numismatists speculate it could command a price comparable to the 1898 Single 9 Kruger Pond, which recently sold for over $2 million, making it one of the most expensive South African coins ever sold.
