What is a gold Krugerrand?

The gold Krugerrand is a gold coin minted by the government of South Africa. Production began in 1967, making it the first available gold coin in an era when bullion ownership had been effectively outlawed in the United States for decades except for coins that had numismatic value. In the nation of South Africa, the gold Krugerrand is legal tender values, but like all bullion coins, the value of the underlying metal far exceeds the face value if used as currency, so this is largely symbolic. 

This feature allowed the citizens of many countries to own gold Krugerrand coins because they permitted ownership of foreign currency; the fact that this was a roundabout way to acquire gold was permitted by this seemingly brilliant technicality.

Denominations of Gold Krugerrand Coins

Originally, there was only one size gold Krugerrand, and that was the 1 Troy Ounce coin. Over the years, however, the gold Krugerrand has been minted in additional sizes to appeal to private investors of all sized wallets.
