South Africa – 1967 2016 2017 – Krugerrand – Vintage Set – 3 x 1 oz Proof Gold Coins – 50th Anniversary

This Krugerrand Vintage Set was conceived by the South African Mint to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Krugerrand series, enabling collectors to document the evolution of the iconic 1 oz gold issue in a self-contained collection. Included are three proof coins: the vintage edition in the historic design year 1967 , and the 1 oz proof editions from 2016 and 2017 . This creates a set that deliberately spans the arc from the origin of the series to the anniversary era, while simultaneously showcasing the timeless design of the Krugerrand in three defining years.

In addition, the set includes an original “Krugerrand 50th Anniversary” stamp block . This block includes three stamps with a Krugerrand motif. Thus, the anniversary becomes tangible not only numismatically but also philatelically, which further enhances the set for specialized Krugerrand collectors .
