History of the South African Gold Mint

Bullion Exchanges is honored to offer one of the most exceptional mints. The South African Mint was originally founded in the late 1800's and marked as the first official Mint of the Republic of South Africa. The South African Gold Mint granted the country a form of currency since the moment of Gold discovery. The development of South Africa's Mint was established with the exploration of Gold in 1886 near Witwatersrand. Within three years, South Africa expanded into a world leader in Gold production while the nation's trade and economics grew. Through the acknowledgment from South Africa's former president, Paul Kruger, the Gold discovery established a National Mint. The new mint solved several problems the nation was struggling with at the time. Most importantly, the country had been suffering a coin shortage for years, and the discovery of Gold coins gave new opportunities for South Africa to convert into an independent producer of its currency. The South African Gold Mint was initiated shortly on July 6, 1892, in Pretoria.

Republic of South Africa as an Independent Mint

Initially, the South African Mint was a part of the British Royal Mint, and British currency was widely utilized and accepted throughout the country of South Africa. However, during 1961, South Africa established as its own republic, and a new monetary system was introduced to the country. The new currency was designed to replace the creation of British coinage, and the 1 and 2 Rand were the first Gold African coins to be produced in South Africa. Fast forward to the 1980's, South African Reserve Bank was responsible for the African Gold Mints to be private control and eventually became a coinage holder. The South African Mint Company supervised all the coining activities as well as production. In the early 20th century, Great Britain invaded Pretoria, and the war caused the mint to terminate in operation. As a result of the attack, British currency was considered to be the legal tender of the country of South Africa. Not until the Mint Act of 1919 helped establish a branch of the British Royal Mint in the city of Pretoria, and this mint began producing the pound in 1923.
