The Krugerrand was first introduced and made in 1967 and was originally intended to give the South African mint a much needed boost. It was introduced to create something to appeal to collectors and investors and by the 1980’s, they were very popular and made up around 90% of the international coin market. They are considered gold bullion and are made up of over one troy ounce of 22k Gold.
Krugerrand coins are 91.67% pure 22ct Gold with the rest made from copper (to make the coin harder and more scratch resistant) which gives the coin an orange glow.
The name “krugerrand” is derived from a combination of the surname of Paul Kruger who was an important political and military personality at the time (former president of the South African Republic) combined with the name of the currency of South Africa – “The Rand“.
