The significance of the 1993 South African Krugerrand is primarily that the proof version is a rare, limited-edition collectible with an extremely low mintage, making it highly sought after by numismatists. This rarity is a result of the low sales and production levels that occurred during the international sanctions against South Africa, which peaked in the 1980s and 1990s.
The original one-ounce Krugerrand was groundbreaking, being the first modern bullion coin, paving the way for a new era in gold investment and collection. At Randburg Coin, we pride ourselves on our expertise in the field of numismatics, ensuring that every piece we offer is authentic.
