South African Gold Coins
Gold isn't just a hedge against uncertainty, it’s history in your hands. At Pacific Precious Metals, our collection of South African gold coins is anchored by the globally renowned Gold Krugerrand, a coin that changed the gold investment market forever. Whether you're building generational wealth or adding diversity to your bullion holdings, these coins are a smart, strategic addition.
The Legacy of the Krugerrand
Introduced in 1967, the Krugerrand was the first modern gold bullion coin available for private investment. It opened the door for everyday investors to buy gold as a tradable asset - produced by the South African Mint and trusted worldwide. Today, it remains one of the most widely traded gold coins on the planet.
Minted in 22K gold (91.67% purity) and alloyed with copper for added durability, the Krugerrand offers a practical advantage: it's built to last, whether stored, traded, or passed down. Its instantly recognizable design - featuring Paul Kruger, former President of the South African Republic (Transvaal), and the springbok antelope stands as a symbol of South African heritage and financial resilience.
