Historical Note

The ZAR (Zuid‑Afrikaansche Republiek) issued emergency paper money during the Boer War. These Pretoria notes are now highly collectible, reflecting the turbulent history of the Republic and its eventual incorporation into the Union of South Africa. The £10 denomination is especially desirable, representing a substantial sum at the time and rarely encountered today in such presentable condition.
