Specifications
South Africa has minted the Krugerrand since 1967. It weighs 33.93 g at 916.7/1000 (22 carat), containing 31.10 g of fine gold, exactly one troy ounce. The remainder is copper, which gives the coin its reddish tone and makes it more scratch-resistant than pure gold coins.
Buying and selling in Germany
The Krugerrand qualifies as investment gold and is VAT-free in Germany. It is one of the most widely traded coins in the country, so selling is easy. Compare the premium against the spot price per ounce (3,681.17 EUR) and get several quotes when selling.
Coin or 1 oz bar?
A 1 oz gold bar costs about 3,791.23 EUR for the same fine gold. Bars can be slightly cheaper; the coin is better known and harder to counterfeit. Divide the price by 31.10 g to get the cost per gram of fine gold.
Checking authenticity
Because the Krugerrand is so widely traded, it is also a target for counterfeiters. Buy from established dealers, keep your invoice and let a specialist test coins if in doubt.
Dealers currently pay about 3,626.08 EUR per coin, so the round-trip cost is the gap between this and the sell price.
