1967 to Present





paul kruger

The Gold Krugerrand is the World's most circulated gold bullion coin.

In 1966, the South African Reserve Bank, gave authorization to the Rand Refinery Ltd. to manufacture gold blanks and the South African Mint to strike the blanks into Krugerrand gold bullion coins.

The gold bullion coin gets its name from the popular four-term President of the old Republic of South Africa, Paul Kruger 1883 - 1900 (pictured), and the Rand, the South African currency.

These coins are sought after by bullion investors and collectors alike, below, 'click' Where You Can Buy Gold Krugerrand so you can add one or more of these coins to your own portfolio or collection.

The Reverse side of the Gold Krugerrand features the Springbok Antelope, one of the national symbols of South Africa.

Coert Steynberg designed the reverse side of the coin, his initials "CLS" are found directly above the word "GOLD," under the Springbok Antelope.

"KRUGERRAND" is inscribed along the top of the coin.

The "Year of Issue" is shown broken in half and displayed on both sides of the Springbok Antelope.

Inscribed along the bottom are the words "FYNGOUD 1OZ FINE GOLD" representing the Gold Krugerrand's weight and purity, in both the Afrikaans and English languages..






History of the
Gold Krugerrand




The first Gold Krugerrand coins were minted in 1967.

For the first 3 years of production, the South African Mint only minted 40,000 of the Gold Krugerrand each year, the bullion coin wasn't mass produced until 1970.

In the late 1980's, South Africa's policy of apartheid brought  economic sanctions against the country from many Western countries, which made the Krugerrand illegal to import.

In 1994, South Africa abandoned apartheid, the sanctions were lifted and the Krugerrand regained its status as one of the world's leading gold bullion coin.
