South African Krugerrand
The Krugerrand was the first bullion coin that could be used as legal tender at the market value of its face gold content. The discovery of the main gold reef in 1886 in the Johannesburg area changed the history of South Africa.
In the 1960's, the promotion of South African gold was considered vital, not least as an investment. The chosen vehicle to drive this demand, and developed by the Chamber of Mines of South Africa, the world's first ounce-denominated gold coin, the Krugerrand, was struck at the South African Mint on the 3 July 1967. It has been, and remains, the most widely held and actively traded bullion coin in the world.
The Krugerrand gets its name from the fact that the obverse features the face of Paul Kruger, a prominent Boer resistance leader against the British, and eventually the fifth and last president of the old South African Republic, holding that office for four terms. The reverse depicts a springbok antelope, one of the national symbols of South Africa that was designed by Coert Steynberg and used on the reverse of the earlier five shilling South African coinage for King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II.
The name "South Africa" and the gold content are inscribed in both Afrikaans and English. he word "Krugerrand" is a registered trade mark owned by Rand Refinery Limited, a South African corporation of Germiston, South Africa.
In 2004, their status as one of the world's premier refiners of precious metals was further consolidated through their appointment by the LBMA as one of only five LBMA-approved Good Delivery referees. As a referee, they are responsible for the pro-active monitoring of performance requirements in the weighing, melting, sampling and assaying of gold and/or silver on behalf of other Good Delivery refiners. Committed to providing a world-class service of uncompromising quality, reliability and integrity, they are therefore justifiably proud of their ISO 9001/2000, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 quality and environmental certification.
