South Africa – Krugerrand – 1986 – 1oz Gold Proof

South Africa 1986 Krugerrand 1 oz Gold – Proof Edition

The 1986 Krugerrand 1 oz gold proof coin is one of the most sought-after vintages among collectors – not only because of its exquisite minting quality, but above all because of its historical uniqueness: In 1986 , no bullion version of the Krugerrand was issued. Instead, the South African Mint produced exclusively this proof edition , making it a numismatic rarity.

The total mintage was only 21,040 pieces worldwide – a comparatively small number considering the popularity of the Krugerrand. The coin is contained in a sturdy capsule.

As with all classic Krugerrand coins, the obverse shows the famous portrait of Paul Kruger , President of the South African Republic from 1883 to 1902. The motif is surrounded by the country name in Afrikaans and English: “SUID-AFRIKA – SOUTH AFRICA” .

The elegant springbok runs through the South African landscape – the iconic symbol of this coin series. The reverse also features the year, precious metal, weight, and fineness. In proof quality, the details are particularly beautifully showcased in the striking contrast between the reflective background and the satin-finished motif.
