Gold in South Africa is quoted in rand (ZAR). South Africa is one of history’s great gold-mining nations and the birthplace of the Krugerrand, the world’s first modern bullion coin.
The rand gold price reflects both the global metal price and the USD/ZAR exchange rate; the commodity-linked rand can be volatile.
Gold is priced nationally, so the South Africa rate shown above applies across all major cities — including:
South Africa introduced the Krugerrand in 1967, the world’s first modern one-ounce bullion coin and still among the most traded. The country remains a major force in global gold mining.
The rand is a commodity-linked, emerging-market currency that can move sharply against the dollar, so local gold prices are often volatile even when the dollar price is steady.
Introduced in 1967, the Krugerrand was the first modern one-ounce bullion coin and remains one of the most widely traded in the world.
The rand is a commodity-linked, emerging-market currency that can swing against the dollar, adding to local gold-price moves.
It is the international dollar spot price converted into rand at the live exchange rate.
