Story

The Krugerrand was introduced in 1967 and was one of the first investment gold coins for private ownership. The coin was modeled after the world famous English sovereign. From 1967 to 1969 around 40,000 coins were issued annually and this number eventually increased dramatically to 6 million coins in 1978. By 1980 the Krugerrand had a 90% share of the global gold coin market.

After 1980 production of the Krugerrand dropped due economic sanctions against South Africa for its policy of apartheid.  These sanctions ended in 1991 when South Africa abandoned apartheid.

Over 50 million ounces of Gold Krugerrand coins have been sold since it was introduced in 1967. To this day, the Krugerrand is one of the best-selling gold coins in the world.

From 1967 to 1979 Krugerrand gold coins were produced exclusively in one ounce. In 1980 the ½ ounce, ¼ ounce & 1/10 ounce coin sizes were introduced.
