On offer is a rare sterling silver vesta case hallmarked for Chester, 1890, featuring an applied coin portrait of Paul Kruger, President of the South African Republic. The coin has been deliberately altered with engraved additions, likely by a British soldier, reflecting the humour and sentiment often seen in Boer War-era personal items. The case includes a striker on the base and displays surface wear consistent with age. The lid spring is no longer functioning, and there is a solder repair to the front, adding to its historical character as a field-used piece.
