Each figure is the fine gold content times today's bullion rate, rounded down to the cent, updated 12 Nov, 02:49, Dublin time. Krugerrands are 22ct (916.7 fine) gold alloyed with copper, so paying on the gross weight at a 22ct rate reaches nearly the same number; the table below shows both rates. The price per gram shown is our published price for that grade, guaranteed. The grade, and so the final price, is confirmed after XRF testing.
| Grade | Hallmark | We pay per gram |
|---|---|---|
| Gold bullion / sovereigns | 999 | €98.13$109.19£82.05 |
| 22ct gold | 916 | €89.98$100.12£75.24 |

Why does my Krugerrand look orange next to other gold coins?
The copper. The Krugerrand was the first modern bullion coin, struck in South Africa from 1967, and it is alloyed with copper rather than the silver used in Britannias and Maple Leafs. The copper gives it a warmer, slightly orange tone and makes it harder wearing, which is why a coin that has sat in a drawer for fifty years usually looks fine. None of that changes the price: the coin is paid on the 31.10 grams of gold inside it.
Bullion Krugerrand or proof?
Nearly every Krugerrand in Ireland is the ordinary bullion strike, worth its gold. Proof Krugerrands were struck for collectors: mirror fields, frosted relief, 220 edge serrations against the bullion coin's 160, usually in a presentation case. A proof can be worth more than its melt to the right buyer, and where a coin has that collector market we say so and suggest a coin dealer or auction house, because paying melt for it would be the wrong price.
How is a Krugerrand tested?
Weight, dimensions and XRF. A genuine 1 oz coin weighs 33.93 grams and measures 32.77 mm across and 2.84 mm thick; the XRF reading shows 91.67 percent gold with the balance copper. A tungsten-core fake can get the weight right but not the dimensions and reading together. Testing happens in front of you in Dublin, or on camera for posted coins, before any figure is final.
How does a Krugerrand travel?
Coins start with a WhatsApp message, so we can confirm the figure per coin and the right packaging, and then the free pack takes any value: once An Post scans it, it travels at our risk. Lots worth more than 1,000 euro can also come to Dublin by appointment: you watch the coin weighed, measured and tested, and are paid by bank transfer the same day. A worked figure for one ounce is on our quote page.
How it works
Message us on WhatsApp with what you have
Coins start with a WhatsApp message: how many, which coins, and a photo if you have one. We confirm today's figure for each and the right way to send them. The free pack takes any value; lots worth more than 1,000 euro can also be seen in person in Dublin by appointment.
Post it from any An Post office
Seal the items in the security bag, hand the parcel in at any An Post office and keep the proof of postage. The label is prepaid and tracked, and once An Post scans it the parcel travels at our risk, whatever the value. It usually reaches us in Dublin the next working day.
We weigh and XRF test it on camera
Every piece is weighed on a calibrated scale and tested on an XRF analyser, which reads the metal's composition without damaging it. The opening and testing are recorded, and your itemised offer lists each piece, its weight, its grade and the published price per gram applied. The offer stays open for 48 hours.
Accept the price and get paid by bank transfer
Accept and we pay by bank transfer the same working day, less 12 euro return postage at cost, waived when the parcel's melt value is over 500 euro. Decline and everything comes back to you free by tracked post. One valid photo ID is checked before any payment.
Selling sovereigns as well? They work the same way and have their own page with today's figure per coin. The full picture across Krugerrands, Britannias and Maple Leafs is on the gold coins page.
Questions people ask
How much is a Krugerrand worth in Ireland today?
A 1 oz Krugerrand contains exactly one troy ounce, 31.10 grams, of fine gold, so its value is 31.10 times the live price of a gram of pure gold, less the buyer's margin. Our figure for each size today is in the table on this page and moves with the market through the day. The final price is confirmed after XRF testing.
Do you pay on the coin's weight or its gold content?
On the fine gold content, at our bullion rate, which is the same as our 24ct rate. A 1 oz Krugerrand weighs 33.93 grams but 31.10 grams of that is gold; the rest is copper, which is what gives the coin its slightly orange colour. Fine content is the clearest way to compare buyers.
Can I post a Krugerrand with the free pack?
Yes. Coins start with a WhatsApp message so we can confirm the figure per coin and send the right packaging, and then the free pack takes any value: it travels at our risk from the moment An Post scans it. Lots worth more than 1,000 euro can also be brought to Dublin by appointment and tested while you watch.
Is an old or scratched Krugerrand worth less?
No. Krugerrands are bullion coins traded on their gold content, so a scratched or worn coin from 1970 is paid the same as a bright one from last year. The exception is proof Krugerrands, struck for collectors with a mirror finish and a different edge serration count; those can carry a premium and we say so before anything is agreed.
How do you check a Krugerrand is genuine?
Weight, dimensions and XRF testing. A genuine 1 oz coin weighs 33.93 grams at 32.77 mm across, and the XRF reading shows 91.67 percent gold with a copper balance. Fakes fail at least one of those checks. Testing happens in front of you in person, or on camera for posted coins, before any offer is made.
Is there tax when I sell a Krugerrand in Ireland?
There is no VAT on selling. Capital Gains Tax can apply to a gain over the annual exemption; Krugerrands have no CGT exemption in Ireland. Our tax page explains the rules in general terms; it is not tax advice.
