The Krugerrand coin series is a worldwide-known collection that started in 1967 to help South Africa’s prestigious precious metal industry expand its reach and encourage individual ownership of gold amongst investors. In a matter of decades, the South African Krugerrands became one of the most recognized gold coins in the world.

After World War II, most nations abandoned the gold standard, and before 1967 gold coins were generally used as circulation coins. Therefore, even though gold Krugerrands are considered legal tender, they are not assigned a face value as they are not meant for circulation but for private gold ownership instead.

While Paul Kruger is considered a controversial figure due to his status as the ‘face of the South African ‘Boer,’ his death actually precedes the beginning of the Apartheid regime by 44 years, and the bullion coin that bears his name is considered a welcome and much-needed source of revenue for the New South Africa.
