22-Karat Gold Investment Coin | South African Mint
The legendary investment that conquered 90% of the global gold market
When South Africa introduced the Gold Krugerrand in 1967, they didn't just create a coin—they revolutionized gold investing forever. As the world's first modern gold bullion coin designed specifically for private investors, the Krugerrand established the template that every subsequent bullion coin would follow. Today, this iconic investment remains the most liquid and widely traded gold coin globally, with over 50 million ounces in circulation.

Why investors choose the 22-karat advantage
Unlike pure 24-karat gold coins that scratch easily, the Krugerrand's copper-gold alloy creates exceptional durability while maintaining exactly one ounce of pure gold. This "crown gold" composition produces the coin's distinctive reddish-gold hue and ensures your investment maintains its pristine condition through decades of handling—a critical advantage that helped Krugerrands dominate global markets for over five decades.
Design Excellence and Historical Significance
A portrait of South African heritage
The Krugerrand's timeless design honors two pillars of South African identity. The obverse features Paul Kruger, the legendary President of the South African Republic (1883-1902), whose left-facing profile has become synonymous with gold investing worldwide. Inscribed in both Afrikaans ("SUID-AFRIKA") and English ("SOUTH AFRICA"), the design bridges cultures while celebrating national heritage.
The Springbok - Symbol of Natural Wealth
The reverse showcases South Africa's national animal, the springbok antelope, captured mid-leap in a dynamic pose that symbolizes the country's natural wealth. Designed by renowned sculptor Coert Steynberg, this iconic image appears alongside the year of minting and the inscription "KRUGERRAND" with "FYNGOUD 1 OZ FINE GOLD"—leaving no doubt about the coin's precious metal content.
The investment that changed everything
When the Krugerrand launched in 1967, international gold ownership faced severe restrictions. South Africa, producing 75% of the world's gold, needed a vehicle to market its vast reserves directly to individual investors. The solution was revolutionary: create a one-ounce gold coin with no face value, deriving its worth purely from gold content.
By 1980, this strategy had succeeded beyond all expectations. Krugerrands commanded an astounding 90% of the global gold coin market, with annual production peaking at over 6 million coins in 1978. Even during the challenging apartheid-era sanctions of the 1980s and early 1990s, demand remained robust, cementing the Krugerrand's position as the world's premier gold investment vehicle.
Investment Benefits for Your Portfolio
Unmatched global liquidity
With more Krugerrands in circulation than all other major gold bullion coins combined, you're investing in the world's most liquid physical gold asset. Every reputable precious metals dealer worldwide recognizes and trades Krugerrands, ensuring you can convert your investment to cash quickly at competitive prices—whether you're in New York, London, Hong Kong, or anywhere between.
Premium value proposition
While other popular gold coins often carry premiums of 8-12% over spot price, Krugerrands typically trade at just 5-10% above gold's market value. This lower premium means more of your investment dollar goes directly into gold content rather than numismatic markup, maximizing your exposure to gold price movements.
Portfolio diversification powerhouse
As a tangible asset with intrinsic value, Gold Krugerrands provide crucial portfolio protection against:
- • Currency devaluation and inflation
- • Stock market volatility
- • Geopolitical uncertainty
- • Banking system risks
The coin's 57-year track record demonstrates consistent value preservation through multiple economic cycles, from the 1970s inflation crisis through the 2008 financial collapse to today's complex global economy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Gold Krugerrand investment
What makes Krugerrands different from American Gold Eagles?
While both contain exactly one ounce of gold, Krugerrands typically carry lower premiums and offer superior global liquidity due to their longer market history and wider international recognition. The 22-karat alloy composition is similar, but Krugerrands' 57-year track record provides unmatched market acceptance.
Are Gold Krugerrands IRA-eligible?
Due to their 91.67% purity, Krugerrands don't meet the IRS requirement of 99.5% fineness for precious metals IRAs. However, they remain excellent choices for personal investment portfolios and offer advantages in durability and liquidity that IRA-eligible coins may lack.
How should I store my Gold Krugerrands?
Store your Krugerrands in a secure location such as a bank safe deposit box, home safe rated for precious metals, or professional depository. Keep coins in protective capsules or original mint packaging to maintain condition. Avoid handling directly to prevent oils and marks from affecting the surface.
Why do Krugerrands have a reddish color?
The distinctive reddish-gold hue comes from the 8.33% copper alloy mixed with the gold. This "crown gold" composition not only creates the unique color but also significantly increases the coin's durability compared to pure 24-karat gold coins.
