Krugerrands have a rich, controversial history and remain a favorite of investors after more than 50 years.
Savvy investors are constantly on the lookout for a deal on trusted and reliable government issued coin, and the South African Krugerrand is often the one with the lowest dealer premiums.
The coin was introduced to promote the gold mining industry in South Africa. One of the unique selling points at the time was that it was the first government issued bullion coin to be minted and issued in a one troy ounce size.
