Krugerrand Series
The Krugerrand was the world's first modern gold bullion coin, initially introduced in 1967, and this gold bullion coin series is still a favorite of collectors and investors today. Krugerrands were minted to help promote South African gold to the international markets.

Krugerrands were never given a face value but were made to derive their value from the price of gold at the time they are traded. The Gold Krugerrand is valued around the world due to the highly sought-after design. The gold coin depicts the South African Republic's first president, Paul Kruger.

On the reverse is a springbok, which is the national animal, in addition to the date of minting. On the Krugerrand gold coin, the springbok seems to be jumping into action, while President Kruger is a reminder of 19th century South African political and military affairs. Add one of the most popular gold coins on Earth to your collection and appreciate the luster and beauty of a Gold Krugerrand.
