Unique Features of the Krugerrand

The Krugerrand, named after South African President Paul Kruger and the currency Rand, is a globally recognised icon among bullion coins. The obverse features the portrait of President Kruger, surrounded by the inscriptions "Suid-Afrika" and "South Africa", symbolising South Africa's national identity. The reverse proudly presents the springbok, the national animal, amid the South African landscape, accompanied by the weight, the year of issue, and the name of the coin.

The coin is made of 22-carat gold, with a fineness of 916.67/1,000, with the remainder consisting of copper to make the coin more durable. This also gives it the characteristic reddish-golden hue that sets it apart from other bullion coins. Struck by the renowned Rand Refinery, the Krugerrand guarantees the highest quality and purity.

Why Invest in Gold Krugerrands?

Gold has been a stable and proven store of value for over 6,000 years and, as the world's oldest currency, has never reached a value of zero. It is a scarce commodity and therefore offers long-term value stability. The Krugerrand is also tax-free when held for more than one year, and exempt from VAT, making it an attractive investment option. It serves as a hedge against inflation and currency risks and is an important component of a diversified portfolio. Its high liquidity makes it possible to convert it into cash anywhere in the world.

The world's central banks hold gold reserves to support the stability of the financial system, which reflects a distrust of their own product — fiat money. The Krugerrand, as a gold coin, therefore offers not only an inflation hedge, but also crisis protection and is an ideal means of retirement planning.

The History of the Krugerrand

The Krugerrand was first minted in South Africa in 1967 and has since developed into the world's best-known and most widely distributed investment gold coin. The coin was the first to be minted on the basis of the troy ounce and quickly became synonymous with gold investment. Despite its official legal tender status, it is not used as cash, but serves investors and collectors as an investment.

The mintage of the coin was limited to 40,000 specimens per year in the first two years before it went into mass production. In 1974, the production limit of one million specimens was exceeded, and in 1978 more than 6 million specimens were minted. To date, approximately 60 million Krugerrands have been minted in all sizes, and since 1980 they have also been available in half, quarter and tenth denominations.

The Krugerrand offered here from the 1968 mint year therefore represents an early and rare specimen of this impressive series. It is delivered in a coin capsule to protect its condition as new and its Proof grade. With a diameter of 32.60 mm and a fine weight of 31.10 g, this Krugerrand is a truly magnificent piece for any investor and collector.
