Imagine the ensuing hilarity...

Stumbled across this auction, and checked later on for result. This happens when you don't read what's actually written on the coin.

I don't get it what am I missing?

 Took me a while to spot it as well. The ribbon at the bottom is in three folds -
it reads  IMITATION KRUGER SOVEREIGN
  The real coin (first link below) has  EENDRAGT MAAKT MAGT

 The second link (brass token issue) has the same lettering as the eBay item.



  The seller described it as -
SOUTH AFRICA ( 1896 ) ONE POND  BEAUTIFUL COIN

I guess the seller was counting exactly on that. Or he/she is completely ignorant of the coins he/she sells.
