Krugerrand | 1 Unze | Goldmünze

One of the most famous bullion coins

Since the Krugerrand was minted for the first time in 1967, it has become the world's most widely used investor gold coin with the highest level of recognition. In the German-speaking world, the gold coin is called the "Krugerrand", slightly modified.

Anders als bei vielen anderen bekannten Bulliongoldmünzen liegt der Feingehalt der Krugerrand-Goldmünze bei 916,67/1000 Gold (22 Karat Gold). Als Legierungsmetall wird Kupfer zugesetzt, was zu der intensiven rötlichen Färbung der Krugerrand Münze führt. Dadurch sind die Goldmünzen kratzfest und abriebsicher, was sie in Ihrer Rolle als gesetzliches Zahlungsmittel sein mussten.

The name of the gold coin is a combination of the depicted former president Paul Kruger and the South African currency, the "Rand". The reverse of the coin is adorned with a springbok on a grassy landscape. The Krugerrand is the official currency in South Africa, even though no denomination is stamped on the gold coin.

In addition to the Krugerrand 1/1 ounce , the coin is also available as a gold coin in 1/2, 1/4and 1/10 ounce denominations, as well as a silverand platinum version in 1/1 ounce.
