1 oz Krugerrand Gold Coin | Mixed Years

The 1 oz Krugerrand Gold Coin is one of the world's most famous and historically significant investment gold coins, combining South Africa's gold production heritage, international recognition and timeless classic design. This highly regarded investment coin is an excellent choice for both new and experienced investors who wish to preserve their wealth in physical gold.

The Krugerrand gold coin was first introduced in South Africa in 1967, with the aim of making investment gold more accessible to the general public. It became one of the world's first widely marketed investment gold coins and remains internationally recognised and highly valued in the precious metals market today.

Unlike many other investment gold coins, the Krugerrand is made from 22-carat gold (916.7/1000), alloyed with copper to increase its durability. Although the coin has a gold fineness of 916.7, each 1 oz Krugerrand contains exactly one troy ounce (31.1035 g) of pure gold. The addition of copper gives the coin its distinctive warm, slightly reddish gold colour and increases its resistance to scratches and wear.

The obverse of the coin features a portrait of Paul Kruger, who served as President of the South African Republic in the late 19th century. The portrait is surrounded by the country's name in two languages: “SUID-AFRIKA” and “SOUTH AFRICA”.

The reverse depicts a springbok antelope, one of South Africa's most recognisable national symbols. The design also includes the year of issue, the inscription “KRUGERRAND” and the gold content markings “FYNGOUD 1 OZ FINE GOLD”.

Krugerrand gold coins are available from various years of issue. The specific year depends on current stock availability, but all standard 1 oz bullion versions contain the same amount of pure gold.
