The SA Mint's gold Protea series celebrates South African heritage — from the famous flower itself to commemoratives marking moments in our history. If you have Protea coins from an investment, a gift or an estate, we buy them in every size and year, in or out of their original packaging.
How we value them
Protea coins contain their stated weight of pure gold, so like Krugerrands they're anchored to the live gold price, which we share with you openly. Proof and limited commemoratives in their original cases can be worth more than melt value, and we assess each coin for that premium before making our offer.

Questions we are asked about gold Protea coins
Do you need the original box and certificate?
It helps with proof and commemorative coins, but it isn't essential — the gold value stands either way.
Are Protea coins worth as much as Krugerrands?
Per ounce of gold, yes — both track the live gold price. Limited Protea issues can carry an additional collectable premium.
