The History of Gold South African Krugerrands
The Krugerrand is named after Paul Kruger, a former President of the South African Republic in the late 1800s. Kruger is famous as the South African leader of the Boers against the British Empire in 1899-1902 Boer War.
The ‘Rand’ in the coin’s name comes from the South African currency, the Rand which is itself named after the world-famous Witwatersrand gold reef in the Transvaal, the largest gold producing area in the world.
In the mid-1960s the South African Chamber of Mines devised the Krugerrand as a way of selling South African gold to retail investors internationally. The first Krugerrands were minted in 1967 but only mass produced for the international market beginning in 1970.
Rand Refinery produces the coin blanks for gold Krugerrands which are minted by both The Rand Refinery and The South African Mint Company.
The Rand Refinery is a private company owned by four leading South African gold mining companies, namely, Goldfields, AngloGold Ashanti, Harmony and DRDGOLD. The refinery, located in Germiston, east of Johannesburg, is the largest single gold refining and smelting site in the world and has refined more than 25% of the world’s gold mining output.
It is regarded by gold market participants globally as one of the world’s premier precious metals refineries.
The South African Mint is the leading mint in Africa and the official mint of South Africa. It has over 100 years of experience minting gold and other coins for Africa and countries internationally. The South African Mint Company is located in Centurion, between Pretoria and Johannesburg and is a wholly owned subsidiary of the South African Reserve Bank (SARB).
Gold Krugerrands have legal tender status in South Africa but they have never recorded a face value on the obverse or reverse side of the gold coin. This was done in order to underline that the value of each gold coin is directly related to the prevailing value of their fine gold content.
