Stephanus Johannes Paulus “ Paul ” Kruger, often referred to as Oom Paul ( “ Uncle Paul ” ), was one of the most big military and political figures of 19th-century South Africa. Kruger was president of the South African Republic, besides known as the Transvaal, from 1883 to 1900 and was the face of the Second Boer War from 1899-1902.

Kruger ’ second cause was ultimately unsuccessful and he was exiled to Europe before a treaty was signed annexing the Transvaal and Orange Free State to Britain. To this day, Kruger remains a dissentious figure in south african history. Admirers of Kruger consider him a tragic tribe hero who was able to unite and defend a badmouth nation, but to critics, he was the champion of an ignoble campaign and a suppressor of the native Africans in the region. Regardless of these differing viewpoints, Kruger was undoubtedly responsible for shaping much of South Africa ’ sulfur history.
The south african Mint was beginning established by President Kruger in 1892 in order to address the serious dearth of coins in circulation and to provide a mean for South Africa to produce its own currentness. After Britain occupied South Africa as a result of the Second Boer War, all output at the mint ceased until the Mint Act of 1919 established the Royal Mint in Pretoria. In 1941, Britain broke the bonds with the Royal Mint in Pretoria and it frankincense became the south african Mint. In 1961, when South Africa became its own democracy, the batch stopped producing british currency and introduced its own currency system .
