| Opmerkingen |
By 1902, the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek was collapsing. British forces had occupied Pretoria since June 1900, yet the Boer government-in-exile — the "Regeering Te Velde," literally the government in the field — continued issuing currency from mobile command posts to pay commandos and sustain what remained of a functioning war economy. This note is that currency. Printed at the Staatsdrukkerij before Pretoria fell and carried into the field for later issue, it represents one of the final acts of a sovereign state that would cease to exist at the Peace of Vereeniging in May 1902.
Forgeries are documented. The British also produced fake ZAR notes as a psychological and logistical disruption tactic during the guerrilla phase.
