South Africa - Gold Krugerrands | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
South African Gold Krugerrands are one of the best selling
world gold coins. The South African Krugerrand was first mass-produced in 1970.
Since then more than 46.3 million ounces (1440 tons) or 54.5 million coins of
all four sizes have been sold world-wide, making it the most successful in the
history of gold bullion coins. In 1978 sales reached a peak of more than 6
million ounces. Guaranteed Gold Content Each Krugerrand gold coin contains 1 troy ounce of pure gold, added to which is a small amount of copper to provide durability. Thus the coins are made of 22 karat alloy and their mass is a little more than that of the fine gold contained as indicated on the reverse. Krugerrand gold coins are unique in that they have no "face value" and trade at a premium over the daily gold price. Unique Design Features The obverse depicts Paul Kruger, President of the original South African Republic from 1883 to 1902, and the reverse shows the Springbok, the national animal of South Africa. Krugerrand gold coins are the most highly recognizable form of gold bullion coinage and offer you instant liquidity worldwide when you're ready to sell. |
