Krugerrands are the most widely held gold bullion coins in the world. The Krugerrand is a practical and classical coin and is still the best way to own gold since 1967. Krugerrands are commonly known to act as a barrier against economic uncertainties, currency devaluations and severe downturn in shares and stocks. As an internationally trusted commodity, having often provided financial security for personal wealth, Krugerrands remain one of the most successful of all bullion issues. They are durable and minted in 22 carat gold and are the easiest form of gold to transport and trade.
