South Africa’s Rarest Modern Krugerrand

Own one of the most elusive Proof Krugerrands ever produced.

A Coin Few Collectors Will Ever See

In South Africa, few names carry the weight of Kruger. The Krugerrand is one of the world’s most recognised gold coins — a symbol of enduring value, national heritage, and South Africa’s gold legacy.

 

In 1997, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Krugerrand, something extraordinary was created.

A special 1oz Proof Krugerrand bearing the “SS” privy mark — a tribute to Sabi Sabi, one of South Africa’s most iconic private game reserves, set within the Greater Kruger wilderness.

 

Originally intended as a commemorative release, production was limited to just 72 pieces. Today, the 1997 Sabi Sabi 1oz Proof Krugerrand is regarded as the rarest modern Krugerrand ever issued.

This is not simply a gold coin. It is a piece of South African numismatic history. Strictly limited. Enquire to view availability and price.
