2017 South Africa 1 oz Proof Gold Krugerrand 50th Ann. NGC PF 70 UCAM FR w/Box & COA (Tumi Tsehlo)

Marking half a century of excellence, the 2017 South Africa 1 oz Proof Gold Krugerrand celebrates the 50th Anniversary of one of the most iconic gold coins in history. Certified PF 70 Ultra Cameo (UCAM) by NGC and designated First Releases (FR), this flawless proof coin is struck from 1 troy ounce of .9167 fine gold (22-karat) by the South African Mint. It comes housed in its elegant presentation box with an official Certificate of Authenticity (COA) hand-signed by Tumi Tsehlo, Managing Director of the South African Mint.

First introduced on July 3, 1967, the Krugerrand revolutionized the bullion market as the world’s first modern gold investment coin, directly tied to the daily gold price. Its success established South Africa as a dominant force in global bullion and set the standard for gold coins worldwide. The name “Krugerrand” combines Paul Kruger, the first President of the Zuid Afrikaansche Republiek (ZAR), with “rand,” the nation’s currency — itself a reference to the gold-rich Witwatersrand region, meaning “ridge of white water.”

Issued in 2017 to celebrate the coin’s 50th anniversary, this proof edition features a special privy mark reading “50th Anniversary” on the reverse — a tribute to the Krugerrand’s enduring influence and legacy. The coin’s unmatched craftsmanship, historical symbolism, and perfect PF 70 grade make it a cornerstone of any world gold collection.
