South Africa – 2001 – Krugerrand and Protea – 2 x 1 oz Proof Gold – 2 Gold Coins Mint Mark Set – Box

South Africa – 2001 – Krugerrand Protea – Gold – Proof – Mint Mark Set – Limited Edition 023-100 – Box

This South African collector’s set combines two nationally iconic motifs in a particularly collectible design, namely as the ” Krugerrand and Protea Mint mark Set “ with two different privy marks . This creates a clearly defined special edition that stands out significantly from standard mintings and at the same time develops its own market logic as a closed set.

The 2001 Krugerrand features the springbok as a classic reverse motif and the portrait of Paul Kruger on the reverse. In this set it is in Proof condition and also bears the Privy Mark “CW” , which makes the issue clearly identifiable as a special set variant.

The second coin is the 1 Ounce Protea (Tourism) 2001 in .9999 gold . One side focuses on the protea flower , while the other side shows a tourism scene : a child on the beach , with Table Mountain in the background and a partial star on the right. The legend “1OZ Au 9999” is characteristic. This protea is marked with the privy mark “GRC” in the set, which further distinguishes it within the 2001 editions.

The ensemble is rounded off by the original wooden box with metal plaque and the indicated limitation 023/100 . Both coins are encapsulated in the red inlay and are therefore immediately ready for presentation, which, in our experience, supports a noticeable collector’s premium for such special sets.
