1 oz Gold Bar | Loxodonta Africana | Rand Refinery | QR Code

The Rand Refinery 1 oz gold bar in the Loxodonta Africana design holds 31.1035 g of 999.9 gold and carries a QR code.

Rand Refinery in Germiston, South Africa, is one of the largest gold refineries in the world and also supplies the gold for the Krugerrand. Its minted bars show the African elephant, Loxodonta africana, which gives the series its name. This version belongs to the newer RandSure range, which links every bar to a digital record. We source new bars directly from Rand Refinery.

How the QR code on the Rand Refinery 1 oz gold bar works

Each bar is individually serialised and sealed in tamper-evident packaging with an integrated QR code. When you scan the code with your phone, you reach a digital Certificate of Assurance and a Certificate of Provenance for that exact bar. According to Rand Refinery, the provenance record is backed by the aXedras Integrity Certificate, a blockchain-based audit trail that follows the gold from mine to market.

The bar itself also carries physical security features: fine vertical authentication lines run through the elephant design, adding a visible and tactile check. The packaging uses an African contour watermark and a seal that shows whether it has been opened.

Rand Refinery gives the dimensions of the 1 oz minted bar as 40.92 x 24.52 x 1.88 mm, so it is only slightly larger than a postage stamp. That makes it easy to store in a small box or safe.
