Welches Gold ist Krügerrand?
Der Krügerrand wird mit einer Reinheit von 22 Karat, also 916,67er Gold geprägt. Der restliche Legierungsanteil besteht aus Kupfer. Dies verleiht der Münze eine höhere Stabilität gegenüber reinen Goldmünzen. Eine Unze wiegt daher nicht 31,104 Gramm, sondern wegen des Kupferanteils 33,93 Gramm.
Wie viel Karat hat ein Krügerrand?
Die Münze selbst besteht aus einer Unze Feingold, der Rest ist eine Kupferlegierung, damit die dekorative Oberfläche keinen Schaden nimmt. Somit besitzt die Goldmünze nur 22 statt 24 Karat, wie bei anderen Goldmünzen üblich.
What is a Krugerrand in gold?
When people think of gold, karat comes to mind, such as the number of karats contained in a certain piece of gold jewelry. Investors think of the ounces contained in gold bullion coins. The one ounce Krugerrand is composed of a fractional ounce of copper alloy and 1 troy oz of 22 karat gold. The total weight is 1.0909 troy ounces (33.93 grams).
How much does a Krugerrand 1 oz coin weigh?
The total weight is 1.0909 troy ounces (33.93 grams). The addition of copper makes the Krugerrand 1 oz coin resistant to scratching and gives the gold an unusual orange tint. This type of alloy is referred to as crown gold because it has long been used for English gold sovereigns.
What size of Krugerrand should I buy?
What that means is that you want to buy the largest Kruger you can afford to minimize the portion of your investment spent on items other than the actual gold content. So if you could afford an ounce of gold, you would look to buy a 1 oz Krugerrand as opposed to two half ounce Krugerrands.
Different sizes of Krugerrand fetch different premiums, and price is also affected by such factors such as condition (uncirculated versus circulated) and special preparation, such as proof coins. From its inception in 1967, the 1 oz gold krugerrand was intended as a way to invest in gold.
