The Scoin Shop: a leading coin collector shop
Buying gold is a wise investment as the gold price has been steadily increasing for approximately 200 years, which makes buying gold a popular activity and enables you to be confident that your purchase will increase in value over time. Most collectors choose to buy coins instead of gold bars because the size of gold coins makes them convenient to store, and their historical and cultural relevance encourages social interaction.

Whether you’re a beginner coin collector or have already amassed a large selection of rare coins and medallions, buying coins from our online coin collector shop is an ideal way to view your different options. At The Scoin Shop, we offer a selection of bullion and proof coins. Our online collectors coin shop sells the following coins:

Coin shops provide genuine gold coins for collectors


Every coin sold from The Scoin Shop is valued at the price of the precious metal that it contains. However, once purchased, one can attribute value to its historical, cultural or emotional relevance. Interesting rare coins are typically valued much higher than those that are mass produced and easily available. The Scoin Shop offers a diverse selection of coins that are highly sought-after among investors and collectors alike.

Mandela coins are commemorative coins depicting the past president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela. He is a world-renowned political leader who fought for freedom during apartheid and subsequently won a joint Nobel Peace prize with Frederik de Klerk for playing such a significant role in abolishing the apartheid regime. These coins are worth collecting as a percentage of the sales of this item go toward the Nelson Mandela foundation and the Nobel Institute charities. Therefore, if you buy one of these coins from our coin dealers, not only do you contribute towards your coin collection, you also contribute towards those in need.

If you’re a nature enthusiast, choose from our Natura coin collection to find gold coins portraying images of popular wild animals in Africa. Our Natura proof coin series includes engravings of lion, rhinoceros, elephant, cheetah, buffalo, hippopotamus, eland and giraffe. With such a wide range, you can collect the most valuable coins for your collection from our coin collector shop.

Our coin shops also offer a number of Protea coins. These coins are culturally relevant as they represent the country's heritage. They depict the Protea on the obverse side, the national flower of the R.S.A. This coin represents important industries and events in the history of the country.

Another highly sought after coin in our selection is the Krugerrand gold coin. If you buy gold coins that depict the very first president of Zuid Afrikaansche Republiek (ZAR), Paul Kruger, you will own a very famous coin. The reverse side reveals the country's national animal: the springbok. These coins are a must-have in any serious coin collection.

Scoin coins are our specialty coins designed by in-house artists. The range includes the Picowso, which is designed by Annali Cabano-Dempsey, who is influenced by Pablo Picasso and the Cubist movement; the Moodonna was taken from a cow image designed by MacKillican; and the Bovingham, designed to look like Buckingham Palace in London with a guard on the converse side and the bust of Queen Elizabeth on the obverse side. Only one hundred of these coins were minted.

Our International coins selection comprises:

•    The London Olympiad Coin – this coin was minted in 2008 to celebrate the century anniversary of the London Olympics that was held in 1908.

•    The Rugby World Cup 2007 – this design was created for the Rugby World Cup in 2007 - only 500 of these coins were minted.

•    Aldernay Lady Di 10 Year Commemorative – To mark the 10th year anniversary of Lady Diana’s death, this coin was created to honour the Princess of Wales. It portrays Lady Diana holding a baby with the text “The legacy of a unique woman" engraved around the image.

•    World War 1 90th Anniversary – The Perth Mint created these proof coins, which were created to honour the soldiers who fought in the war. Over 60 000 Australian soldiers lost their lives on the battlefield.
