The front of the coin features the bust of Paul Kruger, the first President of the South African Republic.  Kruger is surrounded by the name of his nation in Afrikaans and English “SUID-AFRIKA ‘ SOUTH AFRICA.”

The back of the coin features a South African antelope (Springbok) along with the date of issue and the amount of gold purity.

The Krugerrand gold bullion coin, unlike other coins intended for commerce, has no face value since it is primarily minted for worldwide collection and trading.

Minting Information:
The minted coin contains approximately 91 2/3 parts gold and 8 1/3 parts copper.We invite you to call for quotes on the Krugerrand (888-Gem Mine).

The British Nobles gold coins were the first English gold coins produced in quantity, having been preceded by the Gold penny and the Florin earlier in the reigns of King Henry III and King Edward III, which saw little circulation.

The derivatives of the British Nobles, the Half Noble and Quarter Noble, on the other hand were produced in quantity and were very popular.

The value of the coin was six shillings and eight pence, which was equivalent to eighty pence or one-third of a pound sterling. The weight was changed from issue to issue to maintain this value until 1464 when the value was increased. Throughout the history of this denomination there are many varieties of inscriptions, mint marks, and to some extent, design.

The American Eagle Platinum is the only platinum bullion coin whose weight, content and .9995 purity are guaranteed by the United States Government.

All American Eagles are legal tender coins, with their face value imprinted in U.S. dollars. Although their face value is largely symbolic, it provides proof of their authenticity as official U.S. coinage. The one-ounce platinum coin displays the highest face value ($100) ever to appear on a U.S. coin.
