1 oz Gold Krugerrand Coins

First minted in 1967, the Gold Krugerrand Coin was for many years the only gold bullion coin available, and today remains the most highly traded bullion coin in the world.

Unlike most coins from national mints, Krugerrands have never had a face value or denomination. Today, the coins are produced by the Rand Refinery and the South African Mint. The coin is easily identified by the iconic prancing springbok design by sculptor Coert Steynbrg.
