First introduced in 1967, the Gold Krugerrand was the world’s first modern gold bullion coin, created as a way to promote South African gold globally and provide investors with a trusted, tradeable form of wealth. It quickly became the most widely held gold bullion coin in the world during the 1970s and 1980s, offering a new level of accessibility for private gold ownership.
