Buy South African Scoin Coins and celebrate the Cow Parade

Scoin Coins are 1oz gold coins, each with minimum limited mintage of 100. The low mintage and artistic approach of these coins quickly made them a popular item for those looking to add a fun and colourful collection to their coin portfolio. These gold coins from South Africa each have a picture of Queen Elizabeth II on the one side and on the reverse showcases a full-colour rendition of a cow from the “Cow Parade International” art exhibition.

The Cow Parade, as it is affectionately known, has staged over 50 exhibitions in cities around the world and comprises brightly designed cows in various activities and poses. This has resulted in these particular cow statues and displays being instantly recognisable globally - from New York to Sydney. Similarly, Scoin coins are widely known by coin collectors internationally and have become highly sought after South African coins.

Additionally, The South African Gold Coin Exchange donates 1% of all its Scoin Coin sales to the CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation, so you can buy gold coins for your collection and contribute towards fighting cancer in children.

Types of Scoin coins

If you’re interested in investing in an artistic Scoin Coin, or want to collect the entire set of rare coins, be sure to read on about these gold coins offered by the SAGCE:

Picowso Scoin Coin – Featuring a cow design by the South African artist Annali Cabano-Dempsey, these Scoin Coins are a celebration of cubism and the simplification of form in art. The artwork references the works of Picasso, who is recognised as the forefather of the cubist style. This 1oz coin was minted in Perth and is 24 carat gold. Investing in these items is essentially purchasing a wonderful representation of the strange and astonishing continent that is Africa.
Moodonna Scoin Coin – This gold coin was designed by another South African artist: MacKillican. He was specifically asked to design a female cow that was sitting at a bus stop. The brief also cheekily referred to the bovine representation as being “a woman of ill-repute but not so as to alarm the children.” MacKillican managed to create a depiction that is friendly and fun, as well as tongue in cheek. Also minted by the Perth Mint, this coin is 1oz 24-carat gold.
Bovingham Scoin Coin – Featuring a resemblance of Buckingham Palace, these coins are a part of only 100 items ever made. The front shows the design of the palace and a guard, while the reverse showcases the bust of Queen Elizabeth. This coin is also available as a ceramic miniature and was designed by John Marshall, one of the UK’s leading modern artists.
Other Scoin Coins include the Moodiba, Rainbow Cow-Wow, Dis-cow-nt Mooti, Koeirant and African Moo-nlight.
