AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Up for auction is a fascinating and hefty numismatic display item: a gigantic display replica of the famous 1981 South African Krugerrand coin.
This piece is not a common coin, but a rare vintage advertising gadget produced by the prestigious Sandhill (Bullion) Ltd of Leeds, England. In the 1980s, these objects were supplied exclusively to banks and precious metals dealers to promote the purchase of physical gold, allowing customers to admire the coin's details in macro detail.
Technical Details
• Subject: South African Krugerrand (1981) featuring the iconic gazelle (Springbok).
• Manufacturer: Sandhill (Bullion) Ltd - Leeds, England (Details on the back).
• Diameter: Impressive 13.2 cm.
• Thickness: 2.2 mm.
• Weight: 776 grams (a decidedly solid and heavy piece).
• Material: alloy with a gold finish on the front and original technical base on the back.
Condition
The item features a splendid vintage patina. The gilded front retains a remarkable sheen, while the back shows signs of age consistent with an original piece from the 1980s, giving it an authentic and 'industrial' character.
Why buy it?
It is the perfect decorative complement for an investor's office, a striking paperweight, or an essential piece for a collector of numismatic curiosities. A true "conversation starter" that recalls the golden era of bullion investments. "A piece that isn't found in ordinary shops, but that comes directly from the professional world of physical gold trading in the 1980s. Perfect for those who want to possess a symbol of wealth and prestige in a monumental format." This specimen is not a modern reproduction, but an official item of the era produced by Sandhill (Bullion) Ltd, a leading company in the numismatic sector based in Leeds (England). In the 1970s and 1980s, Sandhill was the authorized distributor and supplier of supporting materials for the physical gold market. Finding a piece with the original full backmark, including the address at Templar Place and the old telephone/telex references, guarantees its authenticity as a piece of historical memorabilia from the gold market.
