1893 ZAR 1 Penny Bronze
Also known as: 1893 Kruger Penny or Zuid Afrikaansche Republiek 1 Penny 1893.
The 1893 ZAR 1 Penny is difficult to find in high grades. While circulated examples are available, mint-state coins are rare and often command strong premiums.
Forgery Warning: Always check that the date has not been altered from an 1898 penny. The “3” in the date is sometimes modified from an “8” — inspect the numeral carefully, especially on uncertified coins.
