Types of South African coins
As the largest provider of South African investor and collectors coins, The Scoin Shops array of coins include the following authentic gold coins:
Since their first mintage in 1967, there has only been approximately 100 000 proof Krugerrands struck. This makes these Krugerrand coins the rarest and most famous South African coins in the world. Investing in rare South African coins such as the proof Krugerrand, will award you large and significant financial returns.
The Scoin Shop also stocks the bullion Krugerrand coin, and buyers can tell them apart by the number of serrations along their edges. Proof Krugerrands have 220 serrations while bullion Krugerrand coins have 180 serrations. What differentiates proof coins from bullion coins is that proof coins have never before been touched; they are shipped straight from the minting company to our coin dealer, which make them even rarer than bullion South African Krugerrand coins.
The Protea is the official flower of the country. The Protea coin series was initially distributed in 1986 as a commemorative coin to the numerous historical events experienced in South Africa. From 1999 onwards, the focus of the Protea coin series was altered to feature some of the oldest economic industries in the country, such as mining and the wine industry.
Protea coins that have been minted after 2004 display engravings that celebrate South Africas ten years of democracy.
The most popular coins of the Natura coin series include displays of the Big Five: the African lion, rhino, elephant, buffalo and cheetah. This series of coins has been established as one of the most renowned proof coin series of modern times. The Natura coins have received numerous awards as they appeal to many animal lovers and coin collectors passionate about nature.
