Republic gold Pattern "Tickey" 3 Pence 1898 UNC Details (Cleaned) NGC, Pretoria mint, KM-PnA23, Hern-ZP5. "ZAR" (South African Rand abbreviation). A rare and fascinating off-metal striking in gold, reportedly produced for mining magnate Sammie Marks and with a scant mintage of 215 pieces. Showing muted yet crisp surfaces with some residual luster to the long-ago cleaned surfaces, this is an opportunity to acquire a more reasonably priced example of this widely-known and normally unattainable South African rarity.
