A valuable piece of history can be yours to wear with these Krugerrand gold cufflinks.
First minted in 1967 by the South African Mint Company, for many years the gold Krugerrand coin was the only bullion gold coin available. Unlike most gold bullion coins from national mints, Krugerrand coins, since their first mintage, have no face value or denomination on the gold coin. The value of the gold Krugerrand coin was linked only to the gold spot price. All gold South African Krugerrands are minted in 22-karat gold (.9167 fine gold). This alloy of gold with copper provides exceptional resistance to wear and tear, and gives the coin its distinctive rose-tinted color.
These Degussa & Krugerrand 1/10th oz gold cufflinks have a diameter of 19 mm (about 0.75 inches). Both sides of the gold Krugerrand coin are visible, with the image of the prancing springbok most visible to the wearer. The male image on the coins is that of Paul Kruger, the famous resistance fighter (and later President of the historical South African Republic) who led South Africa's struggle for freedom from British rule during the time of the Boers. These exclusive Degussa Gold Cufflinks are meticulously handcrafted in Germany by the Degussa-Goldhandel company, and are available in North America only from Kitco.
