Pierwsza mennica w Pretorii została założona w 1890 roku przez Johannesa Paulusa Krugera, prezydenta Republiki Południowej Afryki, po odkryciu ogromnych złóż złota w 1886 roku w pobliżu Witwatersrand. Produkcja monet w Pretorii ustała po zakończeniu II wojny burskiej w 1902 r. i zajęciu tego obszaru przez siły brytyjskie. In 1910, the separate provinces of Transvaal, Orange Free State, Natal and the Cape Colony were brought together to form the Union of South Africa as a Dominion of the British Empire. Ustawa o mennicy z 1919 roku posłużyła do ustanowienia oddziału Mennicy Królewskiej w mieście Pretoria, a mennica ta rozpoczęła produkcję złotego funta w 1923 roku. Jednak w lipcu 1941 r. więzi między Republiką Południowej Afryki a Mennicą Królewską zostały zerwane, a mennica stała się znana jako Mennica Południowoafrykańska. Automatically translated

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

The first mint premises in Pretoria was founded in 1890 by Johannes Paulus Kruger, President of the South African Republic, after the discovery of vast gold deposits in 1886 near the Witwatersrand. Coin production in Pretoria ceased following the end of the 2nd Boer War in 1902 and the occupation of the area by British forces. In 1910, the separate provinces of Transvaal, Orange Free State, Natal and the Cape Colony were brought together to form the Union of South Africa as a Dominion of the British Empire. The Mint Act of 1919 served to establish a branch of the Royal Mint in the city of Pretoria, and this mint began producing the gold pound in 1923. In July of 1941, however, ties between South Africa and the Royal Mint were severed, and the mint became known as the South African Mint thereafter.
