Comments

Artykuł dziewiąty ustawy o mennicy zezwalał na "wybijanie złota dla osób prywatnych". Krążą plotki na temat tego, dlaczego magnat górniczy Sammy Marks otrzymał pozwolenie od Paula Krugera na wybicie tych monet, ale żadna z nich nie została potwierdzona. Nie wiadomo, skąd pochodziło złoto ani kto wykonał półfabrykaty, ale uważa się, że wybito co najmniej 215 sztuk i są one bardzo rzadkie. W 1898 roku nie wyemitowano srebrnych trzygroszówek, a matryce znajdują się obecnie w Muzeum Mennicy SA.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Article nine of the Mint Act permitted the "Coining of gold for private persons". Rumours abound as to why mining magnate Sammy Marks was permitted by Paul Kruger to strike these coins but none can be substantiated. It is not known where the gold came from or who made the blanks but it is believed that at least 215 pieces were struck and they are very scarce. No silver threepences were issued in 1898 and the dies now reside in the SA Mint Museum.
