Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Gold Krugerrand IRA eligible? It is not currently offered for a precious-metals IRA through Summit Metals. Unlike the American Gold Eagle, the 22-karat Krugerrand is generally not IRS-approved for IRAs; contact our team for IRA-eligible gold.
Why does a 1 oz Krugerrand weigh more than one ounce? It contains a full troy ounce of pure gold plus a copper alloy for durability, so its total weight is 1.0909 oz (33.93 g).
What is the purity? .9167 fine (22 karat) — gold alloyed with copper — while still holding a full ounce of pure gold.
Which year will I receive? A random year of our choice (1967–present); the design is consistent across years.
Krugerrand vs. Gold Eagle vs. Maple Leaf? All hold 1 oz of pure gold; the Krugerrand and Eagle are durable 22k, the Maple is .9999. The Eagle is IRS-approved for IRAs; the Krugerrand generally is not.
How much is a Gold Krugerrand worth? About the live gold spot price plus a premium.
Is the Krugerrand a good investment? It is the world’s first and most-traded modern bullion coin with deep liquidity; we provide facts, not financial advice.
Is it authentic? Yes — sourced from the South African Mint and authorized distributors, guaranteed genuine.
What’s on the coin? Paul Kruger on the obverse and the leaping springbok antelope on the reverse.
What condition is it in? Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) — a near-perfect, mint-fresh condition.
Does it have a face value? No fixed face value; it is legal tender valued by its gold content.
Can I sell it back? Yes — Summit Metals offers a buyback guarantee.
