Collectors are offered well-crafted one Troy ounce QuartaCoin® (31,2g, 57,6mm) and the half Troy ounce QuartaCoin® (15,5g, 32,6mm) 99,9 Ag fine silver rounds. QuartaCoins® are minted under strict quality control for silver content, weight, clarity and functionality at the Gold Reef City Mint, Germiston, South Africa.
The QuartaCoin® test strikes have already been taken by an excited collector. Join five hundred early movers, who will own numismatic history through their numbered certificates. Various single and sequential certificate numbers may still be requested.
Certificates #1 – #10 are reserved for presentation boxed QuartaCoins. Availability should be requested on the Order page.
QuartaCoins® are stamped every year with a privy mark at the Cape Town Coin Fayre. So the 2025 one ounce QuartaCoin was stamped with the 2025 privy mark and the 2026 privy mark. The 2026 half ounce QuartaCoin® will also be counter stamped with the 2026 privy mark. Counter stamped QuartaCoins are best received at the Fayre, but can be ordered for about a week after the Fayre.

Investors know that silver is still the most affordable monetary metal, and appreciate how silver has protected value through the ages. Precious metal coins and rounds carry premiums over their metal spot price, reflecting features, design and minting costs. Bullion is desirable for saving purposes, ‘stacking’ in the USA, as premiums are lower than for currency and collectables.
QuartaCoin®, with more features than typical bullion, can be acquired competitively against mass produced rounds. Silver’s increasing spot price reflects global admiration and desire, encouraged by shifts in investment strategies. Consider having at least twenty percent of savings in precious metals.
The silver price per standard ounce, the time stamp is GMT (two hours behind SA time).
Smart preparedness combines savings and backup money. A challenge of using bullion is that you might have to commit a high value coin/round to a small transaction because you don’t have change.
QuartaCoin® solves this problem, easily snapped into accurate halves and quarters. Value and quality is confirmed by each quarter’s mint marks. These quarters and halves facilitate easier buying and selling.
In many cultures and families, gifting of coins has marked births, birthdays, graduations, weddings and auspicious events. They are to this day also often inserted into cornerstones of new buildings, their dates serving as invaluable time-stamps.
QuartaCoin® is already proving to be an admired gift to remember important occasions by. It is becoming a meaningful corporate gift to colleagues and stakeholders. Visitors to South Africa now have unique reminders and intriguing gifts to take home with them.
QuartaCoin® originated from Luthando Prinsloo’s passion for coin collecting, an interest in the history of coinage, having to prepare for emergencies and an innovative spirit. His vision matured through the interest and opinions of various people, and close collaboration with old friends, wordsmith Jacques van Schoor and sculptor Johan Steyn. The innovation and responsibility of minting QuartaCoin® is under leadership of Gold Reef City Mint’s legendary mint master, Glenn Schoeman. QuartaCoin is minted in 99,9% pure silver, accurately in 1oz format; guaranteed by the Gold Reef City Mint. Our rounds are designed with high rims to protect faces and preclude clipping and shaving.

QuartaCoin can be purchased directly, or via selected dealers. The round’s silver quality and content can be verified by coin traders and jewelers. Due to the volatility of the silver spot price, acquisitions are treated per enquiry, payment is required at order to lock the price in.
