Contains 1/2 Troy Ounce of Pure Gold | Highly Collectible — First Gold Bullion Coin in the World
The gold Krugerrand is the official gold bullion coin of South Africa, and bears the distinction of being the first modern gold bullion coin to hit the market. The South African Mint has produced fractional sizes of the Krugerrand, and the 1/2 Ounce Gold Krugerrand is the largest of these.
The fractional gold Krugerrands are much rarer than the standard, 1 Ounce Krugerrand. Of the fractional versions, the 1/2 oz Krugerrand is the most common, and shares an identical design with the 1 ounce coin. The 1/2 Ounce Gold Krugerrand is legal tender in South Africa, although the value of gold in each coin far exceeds its legal tender value.
The obverse of the 1/2 Ounce Krugerrand shows a profile of former Boer President Paul Kruger, and the reverse depicts a springbok, one of the national symbols of South Africa. The weight, gold fineness, and mint date are also displayed. The fractional gold Krugerrands spelled the final death knell gold Rand coins, which were discontinued in the 1980’s.
With full backing of the South African Mint, the 1/2 oz Krugerrand has its weight, purity, and authenticity fully guaranteed. The 1/2 Ounce Gold Krugerrand is a great mid-range gold bullion coin, perfect for investors hoping to buy gold bullion in smaller amounts. Being rare, the 1/2 oz Gold Krugerrand has numismatic value, so coin collectors and gift seekers also buy gold Krugerrands in large numbers. Because of this rarity, when you buy South African 1/2 Ounce Gold Krugerrands online from CBMint, they are chosen at random from our inventory.
