From 1996, Proof Krugerrands were supplied in plastic capsules. Again, a very much sought-after coin as so few 1996 Proof Krugerrands exist. The Mint melted many of these coins.
IMPORTANT: 1996 Proof Krugerrands DO NOT FIT in a Fisch scale.
One ounce 1996 Proof Krugerrand
As the value of bullion Krugerrand coins is very much tied to the price of gold, it is difficult to determine the price of a 1996 Proof Krugerrand. However, a reasonable estimate for a 1996 Proof Krugerrand would be about 105% of the gold price. It is worth considerably more if it is with the fractional Proof Krugerrands.
