The striking of the first gold Krugerrand on 3 July 1967 at the South African Mint by Dr Nico Diedricks, the President of South Africa at the time, took place with little ceremony. The Krugerrand dominated the world's coin market over the next nine years, and still is the preferred form of owning gold worldwide.
The 50th anniversary privy mark, the distinctiveness of the 2017 Krugerrand family pays homage to the unrivalled legacy of the original
coin.
--------------------------------
The Krugerrand brand has become synonymous with gold coinage the world over since it was first introduced in South Africa on the 3rd July 1967.
The legal tender gold Krugerrand was the brainchild of the South African Chamber of Mines. With ever-evolving technology and our legacy of unrivalled craftsmanship, the SA Mint introduced the 1/20 oz, and the 1/50 oz gold proof to the fractional range of Krugerrand coins: The delicate and intricate tribute to 50 years of iconic collectors coins. Using highly advanced techniques and approaches, these 50th anniversary coins take the traditional craftsmanship of the original Krugerrand bullion coins and amplify it to create our most magnificent coins to date.
