1/10 troy ounce gold Krugerrand coin 2024 proof

The 1/10 troy ounce gold Krugerrand coin is minted by the South African mint in proof quality. This is the highest quality possible, on these coins several techniques are applied to improve the quality of the coin.
 
The Krugerrand has a rich history, this coin type was first issued in 1967, making it the first coin to be widely traded purely for its gold value. The coin is minted in 22 carat (91.67%) and has a gross weight of 3.393 grams. The coin contains a total of exactly 1/10 troy ounce (3.11 grams) of pure gold. The reason the coin is struck in a higher weight is to ensure more strength than if it were struck in pure gold only. This is because gold is itself a rather fragile type of metal and therefore quickly gets scratches, something that is not likely to occur with the Krugerrand.
 
This 1/10 troy ounce gold Krugerrand in proof quality comes in a presentation box along with the certificate of authenticity. There are 2.000 coins made worldwide.
