The Features of ½ Ounce 2022 Gold Krugerrand Coin
The pioneering South African gold Krugerrand coins were minted in 1967. The coins were available in one ounce of gold until 1979. Krugerrand gold coins were the most preferred by investors before the introduction of the gold Maple Leaf by the Royal Canadian mint in 1979.
In 1980 the South African mint responded to the competition by minting the first fractional weight gold coins. The half Oz gold Krugerrand coin is one of the fractional weight gold coins from the South African Mint. The Rand Refinery is the worlds largest gold refinery, and has minted more than 50 million Krugerrands since their launch in 1967. The coin continues to be one of the most popular gold coins to invest in today.
