Here is a link to some information about the famous Sammy Marks Tickey; www.sacoin.co.za/topic_sacoin_8.htm .I have got one of the jeweller's copies,which is made from the same fineness of gold (22 Carat or .916) as the original.The jeweller's copy does not have the dots after the 'Z.A.R.',which means 'Zuid Afrikaansche Republiek' or 'South African Republic' in English.
