Its history
The Gold Krugerrand is much more than a simple gold coin. It was the first one-ounce (31,10g) coin issued in the world, a true pioneer in the field of gold investment. Its distinctive feature? It has no face value, affirming its role as a pure investment coin.
On the obverse, the majestic portrait of Paul Kruger, first President of the Republic of South Africa, is finely engraved. The reverse features a superb springbok antelope, symbol of South Africa. The name “Krugerrand” is a combination of “Kruger” and “rand”, the South African currency. This choice pays tribute to the rich Witwatersrand hills, where the first gold deposits were discovered.
Each coin displays its purity and gold weight, inscribed in Afrikaans and English: “Fyngoud 1oz Fine gold”. A guarantee of quality that inspires confidence.
Issued from 1961, the first “Proof” coins stood out for their fineness. They were followed by the “Bullion” investment coins, created to meet the growing demand from investors looking for an innovative and practical format.
