A "type set, 1892, circulation issue" refers to a collection of coins from different denominations or designs that were minted in 1892 for general use, rather than for proof or commemorative purposes. These sets can include U.S. coins, such as the Barber quarter, or South African Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek (Z.A.R.) coins, including the "Disselboom" or double-shaft varieties.
For South African (Z.A.R.) Coins:
Kruger Coins: The 1892 Z.A.R. coins feature the "Single Shaft" and "Double Shaft" (Disselboom) wagons, with the double-shaft coins being particularly notable for their design flaws that caused a stir.
Circulated vs. Proof: While proof-quality coins were also minted in 1892, this query specifically references the circulation issue, which includes coins that were intended for everyday use.
Minting Location: The initial 1892 Z.A.R. coins were struck at the Imperial German Mint in Berlin before the Pretoria Mint was ready, leading to the embarrassing design errors that are now sought after by collectors.
