Each 2013 1 oz South African Krugerrand Coin in this JM Bullion listing has been manufactured by the Rand Refinery and the South African Mint. Due to their gold-copper alloy, these coins weigh 33.93 grams. However, they still contain 1 Troy oz of genuine gold content but have an overall purity of .9167. Included with each purchase is a plastic flip for storing your coin.
Thanks to the Krugerrand, 1 oz bullion coins have become one of the standard means for investors to obtain gold. Without this classic coin from South Africa, we may never have gotten other similar fan favorites such as the British Britannia, Australian Nugget, Chinese Panda, and American Eagle. While it faces steep competition, many investors remain faithful to the Krugerrand simply because it was the first of its kind.
The obverse of 2013 South African Gold Krugerrand Coins contains a portrait of Paul Kruger. A prominent defender of Transvaal against the British Army, Kruger later became the president of the South African Republic in 1883. In this portrait by Otto Schultz, Kruger is depicted facing left and sporting his distinguishing beard. Inscribed along the rim are the words Suid-Afrika, South Africa.
On the reverse side of 2013 1 oz Gold Krugerrand Coins you will see Springbok antelope. The national animal of South Africa, Springboks are known for their elegant stride and lyre-shaped horns. The design featured here has defined the reverse field of the Krugerrand since the coin was first issued in 1967. Along the coin’s edges inscriptions are found that read Krugerrand, 2013, Fyngoud, 1 oz Fine Gold.
