South Africa – 1999 – Krugerrand – Century Edition Set – 2.1 oz Proof Gold – 5 Gold Coins – Box and COA

This 1999 Krugerrand Century Edition set is an exceptional collector’s set from the South African Mint because, in addition to the classic proof quartet of Krugerrand denominations, it includes an extra Pond issue. This gives the set a significantly more historical feel, as the 1 Pond 1898 Replica adopts the ZAR design, featuring the ZAR coat of arms on the reverse and the clear “Replica” marking. At the same time, the obverse bears the single “9” below the portrait, which is why collectors refer to this version as the “Single 9”.

Last but not least, the limitation to 500 sets is a real scarcity feature, especially in combination with the complete original equipment including wooden box and COA, which makes this set significantly rarer than regular proof year sets.
