Krugerrand Gold Composition Explained
Unlike 999.9 fine gold coins such as the Maple Leaf or Philharmonic, the Krugerrand is struck in:
- 22ct gold (91.67% gold)
- Alloyed with copper for durability
- Total weight slightly above 1oz to contain exactly 1oz of pure gold
This alloy gives the Krugerrand its distinctive warm tone and increased resistance to scratching.
Why Buy a Krugerrand?
Krugerrands are popular with investors because:
- They were the first modern gold bullion coin (1967)
- They have strong global recognition
- They offer high liquidity worldwide
- They are widely accepted in bullion markets
The 1oz format remains the most liquid and widely traded size.

rather than UK tax positioning.
