South African Krugerrand Coin Sets are packaged in original mint issued boxes and depending on the set, offer the different sizes of the Krugerrand. Introduced in 1967, the South Africa Gold Krugerrand became the vehicle for private gold ownership. In the 1970's, its popularity boomed and it was the number one choice of gold investment among collectors and investors. Economic sanctions, due to the apartheid, made the importing of the South Africa Gold Krugerrand illegal but this ended in 1991, when South Africa abandoned the apartheid. The South Africa Gold Krugerrand is 22 karats, 90% pure gold, 10% copper and contains one ounce of pure gold.
