1/2 oz Gold Krugerrand

The 1/2 oz Gold Krugerrand offers all the iconic features of its 1 oz counterpart but in a more affordable and fractional size. Struck by the South African Mint, this coin combines investment-grade gold content with historical significance, making it an excellent option for both collectors and investors seeking flexibility.

Historical Insight:

Fractional Krugerrands were created to provide greater accessibility for smaller investors during the height of gold's popularity in the early 1980s. As a continuation of the legacy that began in 1967, the 1/2 oz Gold Krugerrand upholds the craftsmanship and global recognition that the Krugerrand name commands. With its fractional size, recognizable design, and lower entry point, the 1/2 oz Krugerrand is ideal for stacking, gifting, or diversifying a precious metals portfolio.

Introduced in 1980 along with the 1/4 oz and 1/10 oz versions, the fractional Krugerrands expanded accessibility to the world's most popular gold bullion coin. These coins are minted in 22-karat gold (91.67% pure) and alloyed with copper, giving them a distinctive orange-red hue and added durability.
