2021 South Africa 1-oz Gold Krugerrand NGC PF69UC First Day of Production 1 of First 70 Issued w/Tumi Signature

One Of the First Gold Krugerrand Proofs Struck in 2021

First issued in 1967, South Africa’s Gold Krugerrand was the world’s first modern gold bullion coin. Even today, more than five decades later, it is still the most widely traded gold bullion coin on the planet and one that is synonymous with wealth, prosperity, and luxury. Every other gold coin that followed – the Gold Maple Leaf, China Panda, and American Gold Eagle – all owe their very existence to the shining Springbok from South Africa.

In addition to the immensely popular gold bullion edition, the prestigious South African Mint also releases Proof collector coins. Just like the standard bullion Krugerrands, these Gold Krugerrand Proofs are struck in 91.7% (22 karat) gold – but unlike the standard Gold Krugerrand, each of these gold coins has been struck in mirrorlike Proof condition, their frosty designs hovering over their shimmering fields for a level of detail and eye appeal not found in bullion issues.

The Final Gold Krugerrands Signed by Tumi Tsehlo

And, for the past several years, collectors have been able to secure coins sealed with labels personally signed by Tumi Tsehlo, former Managing Director of the South Africa Mint. He served in the position for nearly seven years, but now the South Africa Mint has a new Managing Director — Ms. Honey Mamabolo. The 2021 One-Ounce Gold Krugerrand Proofs available here represent the final time that Tumi’s signature will appear with regular-issue one-ounce Gold Krugerrand Proofs!

Near-Flawless Gold Krugerrands Struck On the First Day of Production

What’s more, these are among the very first South Africa One-Ounce Gold Krugerrand Proofs to roll of the presses in 2021. In fact, the coins offered here have all been certified by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being “One of the First 70 Issued” on the very First Day of Production (FDP) — a pedigree that means these coins are nearly unparalleled in the quality of their strike. It’s no surprise, then, that NGC has graded each coin available here as being in near-perfect Proof-69 Ultra Cameo (PF69UC) condition, a distinction that means your almost-flawless coin will showcase an impressive full strike and indistinguishable imperfections — well above and beyond the quality of the vast majority of coins in the series!
