History of Gold Krugerrand Coin

The Krugerrand is first legal-tender gold coin without a denomination but linked to the daily metal price. It was struck at the South African Mint on 3 July 1967.

 The concept of the Krugerrand was first introduced by the Chamber of Mines in the 1960s when the gold standard was under pressure; the idea of the Krugerrand was to market South African gold and allow the public to own physical gold. 

The Krugerrand’s history is rooted in the discovery of the rich goldfields of the Witwatersrand in 1886. This discovery led to tremendous prosperity and enrichment of the Zuid Afrikaansche Republiek (ZAR), resulting in the first President of the ZAR, Paul Kruger, to convince the Volksraad (government) in 1890/91 to establish a bank and a mint, and to pass the ‘Mint Act’ in 1891. 

The effigy of Paul Kruger is featured on the obverse. This design was created by die-engraver Otto Schultz and was struck from the original die used in 1892 for the historic Kruger Pond. A springbok, one of the country’s most famous national symbols, features on the reverse. The relief model of this springbok was designed and modelled by sculptor Coert Steynberg. 

Commemorating the 200th anniversary of the birth of Stephanus Johannes Paulus (Paul) Kruger; after who the Krugerrand was named, this special coin features the same obverse design of Kruger as a privy mark on the reverse, together with the year of his birth ‘1825’.

Who are City Coins?

A business started in 1967 by the Jaffe family, founded by the late Allen Jaffe  and then taken over by his wife Natalie after his tragic passing in 1975.

Medals

City Coins has achieved global recognition for  South African war medals with a worldwide customer base eagerly following our medal auctions.

The market for war medals and decorations has been popular for decades. Medals can be collected according to a specific battle, rebellion or conflict. Sometimes people simply prefer to collect medals that appeal to them aesthetically. 

A lot of the time, however, people keep medals because they form emotional attachments to them. This is especially true for South Africans and Britons with family members who received the Queens South Africa (QSA) medal for fighting in the Boer War. Although some might feel attached to medals and want to hang onto them, sometimes the memory of the recipient is better served in the collection of someone who will really cherish the medal and appreciate its history.

Perhaps you have war medals or decorations that have been passed down from generation to generation through your family? If you would like to find out more about your medals or how much they are worth, please get in touch. If you have medals for sale, we can give you all the advice you need in order to evaluate and sell them.

Bank Notes

While the world of money transitions into an era devoid of paper with cryptocurrency and NFT, banknotes have become even more rare and popular. 

 

Our banknotes range from the famous Siege of Mafeking to the South African notes from Governors of The Reserve Bank. We have rare notes and specimens.

The American Gold Eagle and South African Krugerrand bullion coins, for instance, are made up of .9167 fine gold, thus making them 22-karat. But they still contain one troy ounce of gold – which is why they weigh 1.0909 troy ounces overall. The added alloy creates a more durable coin.

The spot gold price is simply the current market price of gold at which traders can perform over-the-counter trades with each other. It is the cost of one troy ounce of gold, and the greater the price, the higher the demand.

We are an authorised dealer of The Rand Refinery and The South African Mint. We deal in all types of gold and silver Krugerrands as well as special Krugerrand sets and commemorative Krugerrands. We have a large collection of the “Natura” sets issued over the years by the SA Mint and no longer in production (so very rare!).

Krugerrands

Gold purity tends to be measured by karats – abbreviated “kt” – with 24-karat gold designated as 0.999 fine or above. Pure gold fineness would be 1.000; however, the softness of gold would make such coins impractical to use, so 0.999 fine and above is considered pure gold. These coins contain only the most minuscule amount of another metal – or ‘alloy’ – needed to make them tradable.

Coins

We specialise in South African coins either of rarity (graded or potential)  or commemorative value. Many old South African coins contain gold/silver and are rare, like the famous Veld pond and 1931 Tickey.  

We also deal with international coins, and have a global clientele and network through Noonans Mayfair which we can leverage for our customers.
