Gold Reef City to park rozrywki w pobliżu Johannesburga w RPA, który znajduje się na terenie kopalni złota, która została zamknięta w 1971 roku. Wszystko w ramach atrakcji opiera się na zabytkowym motywie odpowiadającym gorączce złota z 1886 roku, która doprowadziła do założenia i szybkiej ekspansji miasta Johannesburg. Te pamiątkowe żetony zostały wybite w nominałach starej waluty funta południowoafrykańskiego, która krążyła w tym czasie w okolicy.

Hern's Handbook on South African Tokens autorstwa Briana Hearna i Allyna Jacobsa (wydanie drugie, sierpień 2009) stwierdza na stronie 110:

"Mennica Gold Reef City była oddziałem mennicy południowoafrykańskiej i wyprodukowała te żetony jako pamiątki reklamowe. Chociaż każdy z nich miał nominał, nic nie można było za nie kupić, ponieważ w RPA obowiązywał system dziesiętny. Dostępne są zestawy proof w obudowie. (Istnieją różne daty.) Uważa się, że we wczesnych latach wyprodukowano zestaw "metali szlachetnych"." Automatically translated

Gold Reef City is a theme park near Johannesburg, South Africa, that is located on the site of a gold mine that was closed in 1971. Everything within the attraction based on a vintage theme corresponding to the 1886 gold rush that led to the founding and rapid expansion of the city of Johannesburg. These souvenir tokens were minted in the denominations of the old South African Pound currency that circulated in the area at that time.

Hern's Handbook on South African Tokens by Brian Hearn and Allyn Jacobs (Second Edition, August 2009) states on page 110:

"The Gold Reef City Mint was a branch of the South African Mint and produced these pieces as advertising momentoes. Although each had a denomination nothing could be purchased with these pieces as South Africa was on the Decimal System. Cased proof sets are available. (Various dates exist.) It is believed that in the early years a 'precious metals' set was produced."
