Product Description
First issued by the South African Mint in 1967, the Krugerrand was the world's first modern one-ounce bullion coin. It effectively created the bullion-coin market as we know it, paving the way for later issues such as the Britannia and the Maple Leaf.
Each coin weighs 33.93 grams, struck from 22-carat gold alloyed with copper for added strength - a practical decision that also lends the coin its distinctive reddish hue. The total fine-gold content is exactly one troy ounce (31.103 grams).
The obverse features a portrait of Paul Kruger, president of the South African Republic in the late 19th century, engraved by Otto Schultz. Surrounding the image are the inscriptions SUID-AFRIKA and SOUTH AFRICA in Afrikaans and English.
The reverse, designed by Coert Steynberg, shows the graceful Springbok antelope, the country's national symbol, leaping across open ground. Around it, the text KRUGERRAND FYNGOUD 1 OZ FINE GOLD frames the year of issue.
Our coins are pre-owned, selected from mixed dates according to availability. Each is checked for authenticity, weight, and condition before sale. Some may show light marks, faint edge knocks, or toning consistent with their age - entirely normal for circulated bullion. These imperfections have no impact on gold content or resale value.
Few coins have achieved the global recognition of the Krugerrand. Its durability, trusted design, and tight correlation with the live gold price make it one of the simplest and most transparent ways to invest in physical gold.

Product Specification
Denomination Information
The Krugerrand was conceived as a way to promote South African gold to the world. By combining a practical bullion format with a recognisable national identity, the South African Mint created a phenomenon: by the early 1980s, Krugerrands accounted for more than 90 percent of the global gold-coin market.
Its name combines Kruger - honouring Paul Kruger - and rand, the South African currency derived from the Witwatersrand gold-mining region. Designed to circulate as legal tender with a face value tied to its intrinsic gold content, the Krugerrand remains unique: a coin whose worth is its weight in gold.
The alloy composition of 22 carat gold gives the coin greater resilience than 24 carat pieces such as the Britannia or Maple Leaf, making it particularly suited to bulk handling and long-term storage.
For many investors, the Krugerrand is not just a piece of metal - it's a benchmark. Over sixty million ounces have been sold since its introduction, making it the most traded and instantly recognisable bullion coin in the world.
