How the gold price in South Africa is calculated

We take the live spot price of 4,094.50 USD per troy ounce, divide it by 31.1035 to get 131.64 USD per gram of pure gold, and multiply by today’s exchange rate of 16.4235 ZAR per dollar. That gives 2,162.01 ZAR per gram for 24K. Lower karats are priced by their gold content.

South Africa’s Krugerrand, launched in 1967, was the first modern one-ounce bullion coin. Prices track the rand-dollar exchange rate closely.

Before you sell, weigh your pieces on a jeweler’s scale, check the hallmark and compare at least two quotes. Read our guide to selling gold.
