One of the earliest-issued bullion coins of modern times, the South African Krugerrand was first released in 1967 as a vehicle for the private ownership of gold. Produced by the South African Mint Company, the Krugerrand has become one of the most widely owned bullion coins in the world. Each coin contains a full measure of pure gold with an extra alloying metal added for wear-resistance.
