The South African Chamber of Mines developed the Krugerrand as an investment opportunity for the “man in the street”.

The Krugerrand was also legal tender in South Africa. For many years, the Krugerrand dominated the world’s gold coin market until sanctions were levied against the South African government in the mid 1980’s. Today however, the Krugerrand has re-established itself as one of the leading brands in the world.
