Since 1967, the South African One-Ounce Gold Krugerrand has set the standard for gold bullion coinage. For more than 50 years, its classic design of the Springbok antelope and former South African President Paul Kruger have remained the same, creating a lasting, iconic symbol of wealth and prosperity. But a more elite version of these coins exist.
Struck with specially prepared blanks and dies, the Gold Krugerrand Proof presents the coin’s immortal designs with incredibly crisp, eye-catching detail. The designs are given a frosty appearance, while the fields behind them glow with a mirror-like brilliance.
Now, for the first time ever, you can secure a One-Ounce Gold Krugerrand Proof certified by NGC and the South African Mint as First Day of Production (FDP) as well as One of the First 103 Struck!
A New Certification for a Classic Proof Coin
Struck in one full ounce of 91.67% (22 karat) gold, the Gold Krugerrand Proof is official South Africa legal tender and displays the same iconic image that has graced the Krugerrand since its inception. But never before has the coin been certified as One of First 103 Struck as well as FDP. This coveted designation guarantees that your coin was among the very first coins of the 2020 mintage, struck with the freshest of dies.
Every Krugerrand struck is official South Africa legal tender, and comes government-guaranteed for its content, purity and legal-tender value.
Shining Proof Condition
To create these masterworks of the numismatic art, planchets are specially selected and treated to give them an extra polished appearance. Then, under extreme pressure, the blanks are struck multiple times with specially treated dies. The process is slower and far more demanding than the striking of an ordinary circulating coin, but the result is worth it: exquisitely frosted designs and devices that appear to hover over mirror-like fields!
