Few gold coins carry the weight of history that the 1 Oz South African Gold Krugerrand does. First struck in 1967, it was the world’s first modern gold bullion coin — and it single-handedly created the global bullion coin market that gave rise to coins like the American Gold Eagle and the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf. For physical gold buyers and serious stackers, it remains one of the most liquid and globally recognised gold coins available anywhere.

1 Oz South African Gold Krugerrand — Specifications & Design

Struck by the South African Mint in 22-karat gold (.9167 fine), this coin contains exactly 1 troy ounce (31.1035 g) of pure gold. The copper alloy — comprising 8.33% of the coin’s composition — gives the Krugerrand its signature warm hue and exceptional durability, making it highly resistant to wear compared to softer .9999 fine gold coins. The obverse bears the iconic portrait of Paul Kruger, former President of the South African Republic, while the reverse features the Springbok antelope, a proud national symbol of South Africa. Unlike most modern sovereign coins, the Krugerrand carries no face value — its worth is determined entirely by the current gold spot price, making it a pure gold bullion play. This coin is also IRA eligible, as Krugerrands meet IRS requirements for inclusion in a Precious Metals IRA. If you’re also considering higher-purity alternatives, browse our 1 Oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf .9999 Fine or the ever-popular 1 Oz American Gold Eagle.
