Small in size, substantial in content: the 1/50 oz Gold Krugerrand from the 2019 year of issue packs genuine fine gold into a diameter of just 8.00 mm. With around 0.62 g of fine gold, it is one of the smallest ways to acquire physical gold in its most refined form. The real reason for buying it, however, is not the fine design but the fine gold it contains – its value is based on the gold price. Anyone who values building wealth in small steps will find an ideal entry point here, as many small amounts of gold add up over the years to a considerable fortune.

The Krugerrand is the original ancestor of all modern bullion coins. Since its first minting in 1967, it has accompanied generations of investors and has risen to become the best-selling gold coin in the world. This Proof edition stands out clearly from the classic bullion strike thanks to its mirrored surfaces and finely frosted reliefs: the Springbok seems to literally leap out of the deep mirror shine, with a detailed steppe landscape of grasses and shrubs visible behind it. The serrated edge and the inscription "FYNGOUD 1/50 OZ FINE GOLD" round off the appearance. The mintage of this 1/50 oz version is 15,000 pieces.

A classic among gold coins – available in many denominations

Within the series, the range extends from the well-known 1 oz coin through the classic fractional sizes to this delicate 1/50 oz strike. The larger silver counterpart, on the other hand, is minted exclusively as a 1 oz coin. Anyone who combines various gold coins and years of issue achieves fine divisibility of their holdings – practical if only a small portion of the gold is to be converted into cash at a later date. It is precisely this tradability that makes the Krugerrand a reliable building block for anyone who sees precious metals as the foundation of their wealth.

Why gold – and why the Krugerrand in particular

Gold is the oldest currency in the world and has been a proven store of value for over 6,000 years. It has never had a value of zero, possesses intrinsic value, and protects against the loss of purchasing power. It is no coincidence that central banks around the world hold enormous gold reserves – a clear sign of just how much distrust there is in printed fiat money. As an inflation hedge and crisis protection, physical gold belongs in every well-diversified portfolio. The 1/50 oz Krugerrand makes this protection accessible even with a small budget.

Giving investment gold as a gift

For a christening, birthday, or wedding, this coin is not just a nice gesture but genuine investment gold, whose value is tied to the gold price. The personal occasion provides the individual touch – the substance is provided by the minted fine gold. Profits from the sale of physical gold are also generally tax-free if the holding period is at least one year. The 1/50 oz Krugerrand 2019 is delivered as new merchandise, protected in a coin capsule and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity – making it easy to purchase fully-fledged investment gold in the finest minting quality and pass it on through generations.
