South Africa 1986 Centenary Set – 2 oz Gold – Krugerrand, Protea & Jubilee Medal – Proof – 100 Years of Johannesburg

An extraordinary numismatic ensemble with strong symbolic power: To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the city of Johannesburg in 1986, the South African Mint issued this rare three-component set – consisting of a 1 oz Krugerrand, a 1 oz Protea coin, and a stylized medal in the shape of the number “1.” Together, the three pieces form the “100” – a unique tribute to a century of South African gold history.

A collector’s set with historical depth:

• Krugerrand 1986 Proof (1 oz, fineness .917): Classic design with Paul Kruger and Springbok – in the highest minting quality.

• Protea 1986 Proof (1 oz, fineness .917): Dedicated to the South African national flower , artfully crafted with a historical city motif on the reverse.

• Medal in the shape of the “1”: Symbolic component of the set, made of 925 sterling silver (S925 hallmark present) with a brass/copper tone.

Minting Quality & Presentation: The two gold coins are minted in premium proof quality , featuring reflective fields and a matte relief. The medal complements the set as a design element. The set is presented in the original three-part wooden box —a rare collector’s box from this era.
