Description
The 1 Rand gold coin featuring the portrait of Jan van Riebeeck is a significant representation of South African numismatic history. Struck with the same dimensions and gold content as the British Half Sovereign, this coin weighs approximately 3.99 grams and consists of 22-carat gold, equivalent to 91.67% purity. The obverse side prominently displays a dignified portrait of Jan van Riebeeck, a key figure in South Africa’s colonial history, known for establishing a refreshment station for the Dutch East India Company at Cape of Good Hope in 1652. This design pays homage to his contributions to the nation’s development. The reverse features the iconic Springbok, a symbol of South African wildlife and heritage. Collectors and investors are drawn to this coin not only for its gold content but also for its historical significance, linking the present with the early days of European settlement in the region. Our best value coins will be randomly selected from a variety of years. These coins will be sold purely on the bullion value rather than any collector value. Please note these are circulated coins and may show small scratches, this does not affect their value as bullion.
