• Part of the South African Mint's World Heritage Sites series
• The set includes both the R2 proof coin and a matching gold medallion, plus a small rock piece from the Vredefort Dome site

Important Factors:

This high value Proof R2 gold coin set is in:

• Perfect Condition - In original packaging with certificate commanding a high value.
• Completeness - Having both the coin AND medallion with the rock specimen in the original presentation case
• Rarity - With only 296 sets minted, this is an exceptionally rare collectible
• Gold content - The intrinsic gold value is approximately 1/2 troy ounce total (both pieces combined)
