Limited edition gold proof 2016 Krugerrand from the South African Mint, issued to celebrate Her Majesty the Queen’s 90th birthday. Elizabeth II was born in 1926 and became Queen of the United Kingdom as well as Queen of South Africa. This title was abolished in 1961 when South Africa voted to become a republic and left the Commonwealth of Nations. In 1994 SA would rejoin the Commonwealth, reasserting international ties of language and culture between the UK and the Republic. This commemorative proof coin celebrates this ongoing relationship with a special ‘QE II 90’ mint mark to mark Queen Elizabeth’s 90th birthday. Like all Krugerrands, this one features the highly-recognisable prancing springbok design by Coert Steynberg. This was first used on a Five Shilling coin, issued to celebrate a royal visit to South Africa in 1947. The date is divided by the central design with the word ‘KRUGERRAND’ above and the composition below: ‘FYNGOUD 1 OZ FINE GOLD’. The reverse shows the historic portrait of Boer statesman, Paul Kruger with the words ‘SUID-AFRIKA · SOUTH AFRICA’ around. This coin is from a very limited edition of just 260 pieces and comes in its original presentation case from the SA Mint, its proof finish protected by a clear capsule. It’s composed of 33.93 grams of 22 carat (916.67) gold with a diameter of 32.69 millimetres. A rare and collectible piece.
