History

The 1 oz South African Gold Krugerrand was first minted in 1967. It was viewed as a solution for peoples desire for gold ownership and allowed the public to acquire and hold physical gold bullion in the form of a coin. It lost its spot as the top-selling gold coin as the policies of the South African Government made it increasingly unpopular in the early 1990s.
