Here are the current Krugerrand specifications from the South African Mint. Using these specifications allows anyone who trades Krugerrands a quick and easy method to verify that you do not have a counterfeit Krugerrand. Gold is a very dense metal, and difficult to fake. For example, the common stand in for gold you hear always hear about is lead. It's actually a very poor choice- if a counterfeiter cast lead into gold plated blanks matching the Krugerrand specifications for diameter and width, it would only be about 66% as heavy as it should be. (Tip: Krugerrands are not pure gold- they are actually 22K. The reason why is they are alloyed with copper to make them more durable, a 24K gold coin could be bent with your fingers- the alloy adds some strength. So each Krugerrand is 11 parts gold to 1 part copper. There is one full ounce of gold in a one ounce Krugerrand, but it is heaver than that in the Krugerrand specifications due to the added copper content.) An informed buyer can measure diameter and width using calipers, or an extremely fine ruler. A good quality digital scale can give an you accurate reading on weight. Measuring width, diameter, shape and weight greatly reduce your chances of receiving a fake. If this sounds like too much work, there's a quick and easy solution do the testing for you- we use a Fisch Instruments tester, you can find one on our Krugerrand tester page.

Due to its popularity, other countries followed suit years later with the U.S. government minting the American Gold Eagle coins and Canada issuing the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf coins.

1 oz Gold Gold Krugerrand

While the coin itself weighs 1 ounce, the 1 oz Gold South African Krugerrand is actually only 91.7% gold with the remainder metal being copper. This lends an orange tint to the coin instead of the more brilliant hue when silver is used. Since this is strictly a bullion coin, the 1 oz Gold South African Krugerrand has a value based strictly on gold spot value with a slight premium. These coins, while collectible in their own right, are more of a gold investment coin instead of a collectible coin such as the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf or U.S. American Gold Eagle coins.
