Krugerrand 50th anniversary ultimate diamond edition 1/20oz Gold Coin

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of one of the world’s most famous coins, the South African Mint have issued a magnificent range of Krugerrand sets available only to customers of The London Mint Office – The Ultimate Diamond Edition Range.

Exclusive First Edition

This year, we celebrate 50 years since the birth of an icon – the South African Krugerrand. In 1967, no one could ever have imagined how that one coin would affect the global coin market and retain its popularity for half a century. Now in its 50th year, the Krugerrand was originally introduced to promote private ownership of gold and by 1980 the Krugerrand accounted for 90% of the global coin market. At present, over 50 million ounces of gold have been sold throughout the world.

To honour the Krugerrand in this special anniversary year, a brand new 1/20oz gold coin has been released, struck to the highest Proof quality, and for one year only bearing a special ‘50’ anniversary privy mark. What makes this a particularly sought-after special edition issue is that this year is the very first year that this denomination of Krugerrand has ever been struck, created exclusively for the Krugerrand’s 50th anniversary - you have the chance to own a first-year edition.
