The Gold Krugerrand is one of the most historically significant and popular gold coins in the world, and rightfully so. First made in 1967, the Krugerrand soon captured over 90% of the global coin market. Despite its popularity amongst collectors and investors, Western countries placed sanctions on this coin in the 1980s and 1990s, due to apartheid in South Africa. Overall, the 1/4 oz Gold Krugerrand makes for a wonderful addition to any collection!

The Krugerrand set the bar for individual gold ownership when it was first issued in 1967. The existence of this denomination served as inspiration to produce gold coins in other nations, including the Gold American Eagle and the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf.
Since 1967, over 50 million Krugerrands have been created, and their gold content has been traded worldwide.
The obverse features Paul Kruger, the former President of the South African Republic who was a key figure in fighting against British control in the late 1800s. His depiction on this round represents South Africa’s honorable history.
On the reverse, the nation’s national animal, a Springbok antelope, is beautifully shown. Since 1967, this reverse emblem has consistently appeared on every issue.
