South African
Gold Krugerrand


1967 to Present

paul kruger

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

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

South Africa began minting the Gold Krugerrand in 1967.

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.

History of the
Gold Krugerrand



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.

South Africa began minting the Gold Krugerrand in 1967.

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

In the late 1980s, 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's international sanctions were lifted when they abandoned apartheid. The Krugerrand regained its status as one of the world's leading gold bullion coins.
