If you have never shopped for Gold Krugerrands before, take your time to get familiar with coins’ specifications. Gold Krugerrands are minted from high quality South African gold of 22 karat purity. The obverse of the coin is embellished by a profile portrait of the former President of the old South African Republic. The reverse bears an image of the National Symbol of South Africa, Springbok, a beautiful and graceful antelope. Gold Krugerrands are sold in four convenient sizes ranging from 1/10 of an ounce to a full ounce of pure gold, the most popular size to own. Not only does 1 oz size offer a high liquidity investment option, it’s also one of the most cost effective when it comes to paying dealer premiums since dealers charge more for fractional sizes. For example, as of Jan 18th, 2014, while random year 1 oz Gold Kruggerand coins were sold for a price as low as $44.99 a piece over the spot price of metal, ½ oz fractional Krugerrands were available for over $108 per coin over spot.
