Congratulations on your award, and kudos for thinking about turning it into an investment. I checked eBay UK previous day’s completed auctions, and it looks like you can get a 1 oz gold krugerrand for around £1000. It’s a good idea to buy the largest kruger you can afford, as proportionally the premium is higher on the fractals (smaller coins)- you get more gold for you money with the heavier coins. As for whether the Kruger is the best investment vehicle, obviously we’re biased. What you can do is check the spot price of gold (either right here in the little window on the left or any major newspaper), and compare that to the selling price of the coin you’re interested in. The difference is the premium, and that will vary from coin to coin and among sizes.
