The Kruger Millions, a legendary treasure of gold, coins, and diamonds, went missing during the South African Boer War. Estimated to be worth £396 million, its location remains a mystery, with various theories about its hiding place. Some believe the treasure is buried between Pretoria and Mozambique, while others think it was sent overseas by President Paul Kruger. He allegedly ordered the gold's removal to prevent it from falling into British hands during the war. In 2021, a sack of Kruger coins was found in a Swiss vault and sold at auction. Despite ongoing searches and rumors, the true fate of the Kruger Millions remains unknown.
