2 Shillings coin dated 1892, issued by the South African Republic (Zuid Afrikaansche Republiek) during the late 19th-century Boer Republic period. This silver circulation coin was part of the pre-Union currency used in what later became the Transvaal region of South Africa. The coin features the bearded bust of President Johannes Paulus Kruger on the obverse, a central figure in the Boer resistance against British expansion, and the coat of arms of the South African Republic on the reverse, with the denomination and year — a characteristic design of the Boer Republic’s coinage.
