2024 | Piedfort Krugerrand
The 2024 2 oz Piedfort is a stunning new format and addition to the Krugerrand coin range.
Pronounced “pee-ay-fore”, the Piedfort is a combination of the French words ‘pied’ (foot) and ‘fort’ (heavy) literally translated the words mean ‘heavy foot’. The idiomatic meaning is ‘heavy weight’. As the name implies, Piedfort coins are twice the thickness, or double the weight as their standard proof coin counterpart of the same diameter and design.
Given the long history of the world renown Krugerrrand, the Piedfort coin is a natural fit for the Krugerrand series. The new Krugerrand 2oz coin features an impressive diameter of 32.69mm with the same popular design first seen with the first Krugerrand in 1967.
Featuring the same design as the standard Krugerrand coins, the Piedfort coin is twice the thickness, or double the weight as their standard proof counterpart of the same diameter and design.
