Gold Alloy

The gold alloy consists of 91.66% gold with 8.34% of copper. This is a classic 22K red-gold-alloy, which is also used for the English Sovereign. The advantage of this alloy is a higher scratch resistance. Coins that do not have the same hardness of the Krugerrand and get scratched over the years often have to be melted down. From 1967 to 1979 Krugerrand gold coins were produced exclusively in the one ounce size. In 1980 fractional weights of ½ oz, ¼ oz and 1/10 ounce were introduced and made available for purchase.
