2023 South Africa 1-oz Gold Krugerrand Proof w/Big 5 Leopard Privy Mark NGC PF70UC First Day of Issue w/Big 5 Label & Honey Signature

Among The Lowest-Mintage Gold Krugerrands Ever Issued By The South African Mint!

Struck every year since 1967—a span of more than half a century! the South African Mint’s Gold Krugerrand is one of the world’s premier gold coins. And in 2023, it marked the second year in the Mint’s second Big 5 series of coins dedicated to Africa’s most dangerous wild animals. To pay tribute to both series, the South African Mint created an amalgam of sorts with this special, limited-edition Gold Krugerrand that features a unique Big 5 privy mark.

Special Privy Mark Pays Tribute To “Big Five” Series

And by special, we mean special! Just 100 of these coins have been struck—among the lowest-mintage gold Krugerrands EVER issued by the South African Mint! The privy mark isn’t a tiny little speck, either. It’s a leopard that’s clearly visible just above the springbok depicted on the coin’s reverse. It’s the perfect addition to tie this Gold Krugerrand with the Big 5 release since the leopard is the fourth release in the second Big 5 series—the Big Five II—that debuted in 2021. The traditional portrait of former South African President Paul Kruger appears on the obverse.

Proof Krugerrands Struck In Highly Pure Gold

Each 2023 South Africa Gold Big 5 Privy Mark Krugerrand is struck in a full ounce of highly pure 91.7% fine gold. The product of multiple strikes and innovative laser-etching technology, the result is a pristine coin that shines with mirror-like surfaces and distinct, razor-sharp details! In fact, each coin available here has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) in perfect Proof-70 Ultra Cameo (PF70UC) condition, a distinction that means these perfectly-graded proofs have ZERO imperfections—showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended.

In addition, NGC has certified that these proofs are First Day of Issue (FDI) coins, a designation that means they were received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository by the release date or on the business day within 24 hours of the official release date. As a final touch, each coin will also come sonically sealed in an acrylic holder with a black display core and encapsulated with a Big 5 label personally signed by South African Mint Managing Director Ms. Honey Mamabolo!
