1 ozt. Gold Africa NGC Kruggerand Proof Coin
Item # CGBC-001
(SOLD)
Product Description
Here is an authentic 1978 1 troy ounce gold proof Krugerrand.
This Vintage Ultra-Cameo gold coin has been graded MS-69 by NGC, and is very collectible.
This coin weighs 34 grams and was minted from gold alloy that is 91.67% pure (22 karats), so the coin contains one troy ounce (31.1035 g) of gold. The remaining 8.33% of the coin's weight of 1⁄11 ozt (2.828 g) is copper (an alloy known historically as crown gold which has long been used for British gold sovereigns), which gives the Krugerrand a more orange appearance than silver-alloyed gold coins. Copper alloy coins are harder and more durable, so they can resist scratches and dents.
