"Coin-collectors, particularly ZAR enthusiasts, will welcome the publication of this detailed study of the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek coinage. Chapters include collecting for beginners, coin care and grading, examination of the regular ZAR series as well as rarities, and of interest to all numismatists, the most comprehensive information on forgeries yet published and some exciting new facts on the legendary Kruger millions. Investors are advised on investing profitably in the 'new Kruger millions', the Krugerrands, as well as ZAR coins, of which there is a catalogue included of current valuations. The foreword to this commemorative volume is by Mrs F. B. Lang, President Burgers' grand-daughter and owner of two Burgers Staatsponde." .
