1/2 oz South African Proof Gold Krugerrand Coin Scruffy (Random Year)
Proof craftsmanship meets value-focused fractional gold with the 1/2 oz South African Proof Gold Krugerrand Coin Scruffy (Random Year). Each coin contains 1/2 troy ounce of pure gold in the Krugerrand’s traditional 22-karat (.9167 fine) gold alloy.

The year will be selected randomly according to available inventory.
South Africa introduced the original 1 oz Gold Krugerrand in 1967, establishing a format that would become highly recognizable in the international physical gold market. To make the series available in smaller denominations, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz Krugerrands were introduced in 1980.
A Lower-Cost Way to Own Gold
Because these Proof Krugerrands have cosmetic imperfections, they are offered at a lower price than problem-free Proof examples, making them a cost-effective way to acquire 1/2 oz of gold.
