South Africa – 2000 – Krugerrand – 1/4 oz Gold Proof – NGC PF69 Ultra Cameo

The 2000 1/4 oz Gold Krugerrand in Proof combines the world-renowned South African coin design with a relatively low mintage and a high-quality NGC certification. The offered specimen has been graded PF69 Ultra Cameo by the Numismatic Guaranty Company.

The Ultra Cameo designation confirms the exceptionally pronounced contrast between the mirrored fields and the matte design elements. PF69 also signifies a virtually flawless proof coin, where only minor, manufacturing-related imperfections are visible under high magnification.

Krugerrand Proof with a mintage of 3,600 copies

Only 3,600 of the 1/4 oz Proof coins from the year 2000 were minted. This number also includes coins that were originally issued as part of sets. This makes the Proof edition considerably rarer than the regular bullion Krugerrand of the same year.

Especially with fractional Krugerrand issues, the combination of low proof mintage, attractive condition and professional certification is particularly interesting for discerning collectors.

Paul Kruger and the South African Springbok

The portrait page depicts Paul Kruger, the former president of the South African Republic. The portrait, created by Otto Schultz, is surrounded by the bilingual country name “SUID-AFRIKA – SOUTH AFRICA”.

The obverse features the springbok designed by Coert Steynberg. Above it is the inscription “KRUGERRAND,” while the year of minting, 2000, appears split on either side of the animal. At the bottom is the weight inscription “FYNGOUD 1/4 OZ FINE GOLD.”

Like all classic gold Krugerrands, this edition is made of a durable 22-karat gold alloy. It weighs approximately 8.48 grams, containing exactly 1/4 troy ounce, or about 7.78 grams, of pure gold. The Krugerrand has no face value, but it is legal tender in South Africa.
