Why gold
Why people buy gold
Six reasons that come up again and again in the World Gold Council's research into why people choose gold.
- 01
Protect your wealth
Gold is priced in US dollars, so over the long term it has tended to hold its value when the rand weakens and prices rise.
- 02
Spread your risk
Gold often moves differently to shares and cash. Spreading risk is the number-one reason investors give for buying it.
- 03
Hold it yourself
A real, physical asset with no bank, platform or app in between. It's simply yours.
- 04
Value you can carry
A lot of value in a small coin that's easy to keep safe and close. Gold crossing a border must be declared within exchange-control limits.
- 05
A gift for generations
Weddings, births, graduations, Diwali, Eid and Christmas: a gift that keeps its value long after the day.
- 06
Made to be worn
Engraved designs that look beautiful set as a pendant, or simply kept as a treasured keepsake.
474 t
of gold bars and coins were bought worldwide in the first quarter of 2026, the second-highest quarter on record.Source: World Gold Council, Gold Demand Trends Q1 2026.
Gold prices go down as well as up. This is general information, not financial advice.

Questions, answered
Is it real gold?
Yes. Every coin is minted by Bullion Mint & Refinery from refined gold or silver. Its weight and purity are stated on the coin page and on its certificate.
Are the coins legal tender?
No. Only the South African Reserve Bank issues legal-tender coins. Ours are minted medallions: their value comes from the gold or silver they contain, and from their design.
Do prices include VAT?
Yes. Every price includes 15% VAT, and you'll receive a tax invoice as soon as your payment reflects.
How do I pay?
By EFT into our bank account, using your order number as the reference. You'll see our banking details straight after you order, and we email them to you too.
How long do I have to pay?
We hold your coins for 24 hours. Golden Hour orders must be paid by the time shown that day. If payment hasn't reflected by then, the order cancels and the coins go back on sale.
Can I collect, or do you deliver?
Collect free from our Johannesburg refinery, or get free delivery within Johannesburg. Elsewhere in South Africa a secure, insured courier costs R 400 for orders up to R 30 000; larger orders are collected.
Will I need my ID?
Yes. We check ID against the name on the order when you collect, or when the courier delivers. For coins of R100,000 or more, the law (FICA) also requires us to verify your ID and proof of address before release.
Can I sell my coins back?
We'll always buy back coins we minted, at the live gold or silver price on the day. Contact us for a quote.
Can I take gold overseas?
Gold must be declared when you cross a border and must stay within South Africa's exchange-control limits. Please check with your bank or SARS before you travel.
Can I change my mind?
Yes. You can cancel within 7 days of receiving your coins and return them unused and sealed. See our returns policy for the details. Returns policy
