African Gold Coins
The 1 oz Gold Krugerrand is a piece of history shaped in gold, a beacon of wealth for investors and collectors alike. Struck for the first time in 1967 by the South African Mint, it was the world's first ounce-denominated gold coin, allowing owners to directly calculate the value of their holdings in accordance to the prevailing price of gold. The coin's 22-karat gold alloy, which is 91.67% pure gold mixed with a small amount of copper for enhanced durability, imparts a distinct, rich hue that sets it apart from higher-purity bullion coins. Its weight and metal content are backed by the South African Reserve Bank, ensuring that each coin contains precisely one troy ounce of gold.
On one side of the 1 oz Gold Krugerrand, the coin bears the dignified portrait of Paul Kruger, the revered former President of the South African Republic, symbolizing strength and integrity. The reverse side features the elegant springbok antelope, a national symbol of South Africa, captured in a dynamic, leaping pose that seems to bring the savannas of South Africa to life. This juxtaposition of political legacy with natural beauty speaks to the heart of South Africa's identity and pays homage to its rich heritage. With no face value, the Krugerrand's worth is purely based on its gold content plus a small premium, making it a timeless asset that resonates with the history and economic bedrock of the nation.
