Collectable one-ounce gold 1974 bullion Krugerrand. These supremely popular investment coins have been issued by the South African Mint in partnership with the Rand Refinery since 1967. Early issues, such as this 1974 date, are struck to the same specification as today's coins in solid 22-carat (91.67%) gold, offering buyers a full troy ounce of pure precious metal. The Krugerrand takes its name from the Rand (the South African unit of currency), compounded with Paul Kruger, the ZAR politician whose portrait is shown on the obverse. 1974 Krugerrands also feature the classic springbok reverse that has become a hallmark of this long-standing bullion series.
