The Krugerrand
The Krugerrand: The Original Gold Bullion Coin
There are
many different ways to own gold, but one of the most popular gold bullion
coins is South Africa's Krugerrand.
Introduced in 1970, the Krugerrand was the world's first gold bullion coin.
It is denominated in ounces of pure gold rather than having a face value.
Over the years, more than 54 million Krugerrands have been circulated worldwide.
Krugerrands: Designed for Investors
The value of Krugerrands (which contain exactly 1 oz., 1/2 oz., 1/4
oz., or 1/10 oz. of pure gold) can easily be determined from the internationally
quoted gold price.
Krugerrands are durable. They are alloyed with a small amount of copper,
making them 22-karat coins - containing 11/12 part 24-karat gold and
1/12 part copper. Copper is a traditional alloy of gold coins used
to harden coins, making them hard enough to resist normal scratching
and denting - an important feature, as 24 karat coins and bars are more
easily damaged and generally require protective packaging.
Krugerrands are easy to transport and store. Since the Krugerrand
is so well recognized, buying and selling them internationally is exceptionally
easy.
Krugerrands have always been legal tender coins under South African
legislation. They are minted by the South African Mint. As legal tender
coins, they do not need to be assayed or melted down upon resale-unlike
some cast and minted gold bars.
