South Africa – 2024 – 1/2 Krugerrand – Gold – Proof – NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo – Black Retro Holder

The 1/2 Krugerrand in Proof from 2024 is one of the most attractive modern fractionals of the classic South African Krugerrand series. The example offered here comes from the 6-piece Prestige Set and combines the popular half-ounce coin with the more elaborate Proof finish and a perfect NGC certification in the sought-after Black Retro Holder.

Especially with modern Krugerrand issues, the half-ounce coin holds a special appeal for many collectors because it combines the iconic design of the series with a more compact format. The coin is made of 22-karat gold with a fineness of 916.7/1000, weighs 16.965 g, and contains 15.55 g, or 1/2 oz, of pure gold. With a diameter of 27 mm, it conforms to the classic specifications of the 1/2 Krugerrand.

The obverse features a portrait of Paul Kruger with the bilingual inscription “SUID-AFRIKA – SOUTH AFRICA”. The reverse depicts the springbok, the series’ iconic animal, flanked by the year 2024 and the inscription “FYNGOUD 1/2 OZ FINE GOLD”. It is precisely this unchanged design, established over decades, that makes the Krugerrand so instantly recognizable to collectors worldwide.

What makes this coin particularly attractive is its NGC certification of PF70 Ultra Cameo , the highest possible numerical grade for a proof coin. Furthermore, the striking black retro holder significantly enhances the appearance of this issue and is highly sought after in the market. The certificate number of this particular coin is 8319310-039 .
