Buy Gold Krugerrand
The gold Krugerrand is a household name worldwide among investors looking to buy physical gold. Introduced in 1967, this South African currency was the first official investment coin and has a strong reputation as a result. Those who buy a gold Krugerrand benefit from excellent marketability, worldwide recognition and a relatively low premium relative to the gold value.
What distinguishes the Krugerrand from many other gold coins is its alloy: the coin contains one troy ounce of pure gold, but is reinforced with copper. This makes it more resistant to scratches and wear.
At The Silver Mountain, you can find both newly minted and pre-owned gold Krugerrand coins. All coins are carefully checked for authenticity, weight and purity. We provide proof of purchase with every gold Krugerrand.
Value gold Krugerrand
Those looking to buy a gold Krugerrand can choose between new and pre-owned specimens. Both varieties contain exactly one troy ounce of pure gold (31.103 grams) with a grade of 22 carats. The weight and composition are also identical. The difference is mainly in the external condition, production year and price.
New Krugerrand coins are recently minted and often in perfect condition. Pre-owned coins have been in circulation earlier and may show slight signs of use, without compromising the gold value.
