Gold Ounce(1 oz)

The 1 oz Gold Krugerrand is the world’s most recognized gold bullion coin and a cornerstone of modern bullion investing. First introduced in 1967, it was the first gold coin to contain exactly one troy ounce of fine gold and remains one of the most actively traded gold coins worldwide.

The coin is struck in 22-carat gold (91.67% purity) with a small copper alloy added for durability. This gives the coin its distinctive reddish-gold colour and increased resistance to scratches and wear, making it ideal for both collectors and investors.

A 1 oz Krugerrand contains 31.103 g of pure gold, with a total weight of 33.93 g. The coin measures 32.77 mm in diameter and approximately 2.84 mm thick.

The obverse features the portrait of Paul Kruger, former President of the South African Republic, while the reverse shows the iconic springbok antelope, a national symbol of South Africa. The coin has no face value because its worth is directly linked to the international gold price.

Because of its global recognition, liquidity, and consistent gold content, the 1 oz Krugerrand is one of the most popular bullion coins for gold investment and coin collecting. It is widely traded by investors, bullion dealers, and numismatists, making it a key part of many precious-metal portfolios.
