Certified Gold
Certified Gold adheres to the Responsible Gold policy and guarantees that all gold was mined in an eco-friendly manner and not recycled from scrap or other secondary, untraceable sources. It ensures that the chain of custody though refining can be traced back to its origin.

Investment Gold
Krugerrands
Locally respected and internationally acclaimed, the Krugerrand is the most widely held and actively traded bullion coin in the world with over 60 million ounces sold over the last 50 years. A brainchild of the Chamber of Mines in South African in 1967 and produced by Rand Refinery and the SA Mint, the Krugerrand tells a powerful story of resilience over time and promises investors an attractive return.
Why consider investing in Krugerrand?
Why consider investing in Krugerrand? The Krugerrand is made from 22 carat gold, 9167 of pure gold and 833 parts copper. The alloy with copper ensures that the coins are not easily scratched or defaced, thereby protecting their value and tradability. The Krugerrand is the only legal tender bullion coin with its face value denominated in ounces of pure gold, therefore it is guaranteed that the South African Reserve Bank will purchase any tendered Krugerrand at the ruling price of gold on the day.
In 2018, the silver bullion coin was launched. This coin is produced in unlimited mintage where the quantity struck is dependent on the market’s demands. The daily mintage relies on the daily price of silver. 1 ounce, ½ ounce, ¼ ounce and 1/10 ounce of pure gold available from:

Minted Bars
We have refined our brand, purifying it to create a new identity while being instantly recognisable as a symbol of quality, simplicity and integrity.
Rand Refinery acts as agent for selected gold producers in the refining, marketing and sale of their gold production. In so doing, we have liaison arrangements with Members of the LBMA in London for the sale and distribution of gold refined by Rand Refinery into Value Added Products.
With a recent change in legislation, South Africans are now able to invest in minted bars. Minted bars are however only available in 10g, 50g and 100g gold and 1oz silver to the South African market :
