The Transvaal colony was created in 1902 when the British annexed the [[Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek]] (ZAR). The new colony did not have its own arms, but on the new official seal the wagon and lion from the republican arms were added. The colony existed until 1910 when it became the province of Transvaal in the new South African Republic. | The Transvaal colony was created in 1902 when the British annexed the [[Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek]] (ZAR).
