About this item

Product details

The South African Krugerrand Gold Coins is one of the world’s oldest and most recognizable gold bullion coins. Before other governments around the world decided to mint their own bullion coins, the 1 oz South African gold krugerrand coin was the #1 choice for investors across the world. The purpose of the original issue was to encourage individual ownership of the gold and it was said the krugerrand golds clearly met the objective. The 1 oz South African Gold Krugerrand Coin is by far the most popular 1 oz gold bullion coin in the world. The 1 oz Gold Krugerrand was the world’s first modern bullion coin struck in 1967 by the South African Mint Company. Prior to its release, gold coins were usually commemorative coins meant for collectors, so 1 oz Gold Coin Krugerrand marked a major shift in how people bought and sold gold. They created an entirely new market!

The Krugerrand is Africa’s premium bullion coin and was first released in 1967. While there are other coins minted on behalf of the African government throughout the continent, Krugerrand is one of the few gold coins to be produced within an African country. Kruger is a combination of the words “Kruger” and “rand,” which refers to a South African currency. It doesn’t get any purer than a genuine Krugerrand in terms of purity.

In the 1960s South Africa Chamber of Mines introduced the Krugerrand to encourage physical gold as an investment option for the “man on street”. In 1967, the Krugerrand was made legal tender and contained one troy ounce fine gold with copper. To make the coin more durable and long-lasting, it is made of a copper-gold alloy. The unique feature of this gold coin was its lack of denomination. Its face value was linked to the daily gold price.

The 1 oz South African Gold Krugerrand coin is made of 22 karat gold (91 per cent pure), with copper making up the rest of the weight. Copper is extremely hardy and gives the Krugerrand an orange tint, similar to crown gold. Krugerrands, which are 22-carat gold, weigh more than one troy ounce. South African Gold Krugerrands, therefore, contain only 1 troy ounce(24-carat) of fine gold. The year of this limited mintage gold 1 oz Krugerrand may vary depending on the availability of the coin in our inventory.
