South Africa – 2012 – Krugerrand – 1/10 oz Gold Proof – NGC PF70 UCAM – One of First 300 Struck – Cert 3617009-003

2012 Krugerrand PF70 in 1/10 oz Gold Proof: This South African gold coin combines the classic Krugerrand design with a particularly high-quality NGC certification. The offered 1/10 Krugerrand has been graded PF70 Ultra Cameo by NGC and also bears the special designation “One of First 300 Struck”.

The obverse features a portrait of Paul Kruger with the inscription “SUID-AFRIKA – SOUTH AFRICA”. The reverse depicts the springbok, the famous Krugerrand motif by Coert L. Steynberg. It also bears the year 2012 and the weight indication “1/10 oz fine gold”. The proof finish creates the typical contrast between the reflective field and the matte relief, a feature further confirmed by the NGC designation Ultra Cameo.

Of particular interest to collectors is the combination of perfect PF70 grade and the early minting designation “One of First 300 Struck”. This makes this issue appealing not only to Krugerrand collectors, but also to collectors of certified modern gold coins with clear documentation of quality and provenance.
