Why Invest In Gold Krugerrand Coins?

Gold Krugerrands are produced by the Rand Refinery in South Africa. First issued in 1967, the Krugerrand became the most traded one ounce gold coin in the 1980s. The success of this gold bullion coin encouraged major mints around the world to issue their own 1 oz gold coins.

This popularity is attributed to its legal tender status, which is directly linked to the market value of gold, as well as its availability in various fractional denominations, making it convenient for secure storage.

As a legal tender gold coin, with its value denominated in pure gold ounces, the Krugerrand is inherently equivalent to its weight in gold. Comprising 11/12 24-carat gold and 1/12 copper, the Krugerrand provides a strong 22-carat gold investment. It comes in four sizes, containing precisely 1oz, 1/2oz, 1/4oz, or 1/10oz of pure gold.

Gold as Hedge Against Inflation

For centuries, people have relied on gold as a fundamental store of value. It serves as a safeguard against inflation, and during periods of economic instability, physical gold has the distinct capacity to preserve its value.

Since 1967, the Krugerrand has represented enduring value for gold bullion investors.

Over 60 Million Ounces of Krugerrands Sold

Having sold over 60 million ounces, the Krugerrand stands as one of the most widely traded and trusted gold bullion coins worldwide. Offering a durable composition, enduring design, established tradability, global liquidity, and reliable delivery, it is a strong choice for gold bullion coin investment.
