Bullion and jewellery Buy-Backs

Many South Africans hedge a weak rand with physical gold, which is priced in US dollars and tends to rise in rand terms when the currency falls; Krugerrands are a simple, recognised way to do it. Knox can supply Krugerrands and store them securely for you.

Many people hold a portion of their savings in physical gold as an inflation hedge, because gold has historically held its purchasing power over the long term as cash erodes. Krugerrands are a simple way to do it. Knox can supply and securely store gold as part of your savings.

One common alternative is holding part of your wealth in physical gold, which sits outside the banking system as a tangible asset you own directly. It pairs naturally with secure vault storage. Knox supplies physical gold and offers safe custody so you hold it without keeping it at home.

Krugerrands are a popular way to pass on value, being physical, recognised worldwide, and inclined to hold their worth over decades as a store of wealth. Knox supplies genuine Krugerrands and can store them until they're needed.

Converting part of a windfall into a tangible store of value like physical gold both protects it from theft, when held in a vault, and makes it less likely to be spent impulsively than cash in an account — it becomes an asset you have to consciously decide to sell. Knox can help you buy and securely store gold with a lump sum.

A common option in retirement is holding part of your wealth in physical gold, a tangible asset that sits outside the banking and equity systems and acts as a long-term store of value, paired naturally with secure storage.

You can keep gold and valuables in secure off-site custody in South Africa rather than rushing to sell, which buys you time to decide and get advice, since moving precious metals across borders involves customs and exchange-control rules. Knox can store your valuables securely while you weigh your options; take specific advice on the rules before any cross-border movement.

As deposit rates fall, many savers move a portion into physical gold, which acts as a long-term store of value and a hedge rather than relying on shrinking interest. Krugerrands are a simple way in. Knox can supply and store gold for you.

Gold is the classic defensive asset investors turn to when shares look stretched, because it often holds or gains value when equity markets fall, helping balance a portfolio. Knox supplies physical gold and Krugerrands and stores them securely.

Many people take crypto gains off the table into physical gold, swapping a volatile digital asset for a tangible one with a long track record as a store of value. Knox can supply physical gold and store it securely once you've realised your gains.

Rather than trying to time the market, most people treat physical gold as a long-term hold bought steadily over time, since short-term price moves are hard to predict and gold is held for stability rather than quick gains.

Physical gold is held outside the banking system as an asset you own directly, so it isn't exposed to a bank's solvency or to account freezes the way deposits are; held in a private vault it stays both secure and independent.

A single Krugerrand, or a smaller fractional coin, is an accessible first step into gold without needing a large sum, and you can add to it over time. Knox supplies Krugerrands in various sizes and can store them as your holding grows.

Gold and property both store value but differ in key ways: gold is liquid, portable and low-maintenance, while property is illiquid and carries costs but can generate rental income — many investors hold some of each rather than choosing one. Knox can supply and store the physical-gold side of that mix; for the property side, weigh it with a financial adviser.

You can keep gift coins as a store of value, store them securely, or sell them for their current market value — the right choice depends on whether you want the asset or the cash, so have them valued first to decide with the real number in front of you. Knox can value, store or buy gold coins.

You can have inherited jewellery professionally valued on both its gold content and market value — essential for insurance, dividing an estate fairly, or deciding whether to keep or sell. Knox offers a valuation service for jewellery and precious metals.

Rather than letting dated pieces sit unworn, you can sell them for their gold and market value and free up the money for something you'll actually use; a specialist pays a fair, metal-linked price regardless of style. Knox buys gold jewellery and pays you out, so you can put the proceeds towards new pieces or anything else.

An inherited collection should be professionally valued, because coins like Krugerrands are priced off their gold content and the current market, not face or sentimental value. Knox values and, if you wish, buys gold coins and Krugerrands.

An independent professional valuation gives everyone an objective figure to divide, which heads off disputes over who gets what. Knox provides independent valuations of jewellery and precious metals for estates.

Sell to a reputable buyer who values the piece transparently against the current gold price, rather than a shop offering a vague lump sum — a clear, spot-linked quote is how you know it's fair. Knox buys gold jewellery at market-linked prices and shows you the valuation.

Start by having the gold professionally authenticated and valued, so you know whether it's genuine and what it's worth at current prices before deciding to keep, store or sell it. Guessing or selling blind is how people lose value. Knox can authenticate and value inherited gold, coins and jewellery.

Have the items professionally valued first, because old coins and jewellery are usually worth their gold content at today's prices even when they look worn or dated, and you don't want to sell them for a fraction of that. Once valued, you can store, keep or sell them. Knox values, buys and stores gold coins and jewellery.

Yes — broken, mismatched or scrap gold is still worth its gold content at current market prices, often more than people expect, so it's worth having valued rather than leaving in a drawer. Knox values and buys scrap and broken gold.

For most individual investors Krugerrands are the more flexible choice, because they're instantly recognised, easy to resell in small quantities, and trade close to the gold price, whereas bars can suit larger lump-sum buyers seeking lower premiums. The right choice depends on how much you're investing and how you plan to sell later. Knox can advise on both and supply whichever suits your goals.

Buy Krugerrands from an established dealer or precious-metals specialist that sources through recognised channels, so you can be confident the coins are genuine and fairly priced; avoid informal sellers where authenticity and pricing are uncertain. Knox supplies genuine Krugerrands and can arrange secure storage.

No, intact Krugerrands are not subject to VAT in South Africa, because they are zero-rated as gold coins that are legal tender. This is one reason they're an efficient way to hold physical gold. Knox can supply Krugerrands and explain the current costs involved.

You may have a tax liability when you sell Krugerrands at a profit, but whether it's treated as capital gains tax or as ordinary income depends on factors like how long you held them and your intention in buying them. Coins held long-term as a store of wealth are more likely to attract capital treatment, while frequent trading points to income. This is a personal tax matter, so confirm your position with a tax adviser or SARS.

Krugerrands are highly liquid, because they're recognised worldwide and an established market of dealers stands ready to buy them, so you can usually sell quickly and close to the prevailing gold price. This easy resale is a major reason they're so popular. Knox can assist when you want to buy or sell Krugerrands.

Physical gold like Krugerrands is an asset you own and hold directly, while a gold ETF is a paper investment that tracks the gold price without you taking possession of metal. Physical gold offers direct ownership and privacy but needs secure storage, whereas an ETF is convenient but carries counterparty and platform exposure. Knox specialises in physical gold and its secure storage.

A genuine Krugerrand has a precise, consistent weight, diameter and thickness and a distinctive springbok design, and reputable dealers verify authenticity before sale. Buying from an established specialist is the simplest way to be sure. Knox supplies verified, genuine Krugerrands.

The premium is the amount you pay above the raw gold (spot) value to cover minting, dealing and handling, and it varies with demand and the dealer. A fair, transparent premium is a sign of a reputable seller. Contact Knox for current Krugerrand pricing and premiums.
