Jardines Galleries · Reference Database
The Catalog.
Search South Africa's most comprehensive numismatic reference. Every coin and banknote carries a JG-ID linking it to mintage, catalogue value, and the underlying auction history that informs current market value.
The catalogue value
The reference price a dealer or collector would publish in a printed catalogue — what the coin should be worth in nominal terms, given its grade, rarity, and metal content. We adjust bullion-priced fractional pieces (Krugerrand, gold sovereigns) at current spot, and apply a small uplift to the rest to track market drift. This is the asking price you'd quote in a letter.
The auction median
The actual realised price across multiple South African and international auction houses — the unadjusted middle figure of every recorded hammer for that JG-ID. This is what people have actually paid. When the auction median sits below the catalogue value, the market is soft. When it sits above, the catalogue is lagging. Both numbers tell you something different.

JG-IDs are Jardines Galleries' global catalogue references. Auction medians are unadjusted realisations aggregated across South African and international houses. Catalogue values are bullion-adjusted at current spot — gold R—/g, silver R—/g — for fractional bullion pieces; all other catalogue values carry a small uplift to track market drift. Last updated —.
