· Gold was
discovered 6000 years ago and has ever since invariably been the ultimate store
of value, whether in the form of bullion, coin or jewellery.
· Gold quoted
in US dollars is the world’s only marketable currency hedge. Given past and
future economic and political upheaval, gold is the only world money.
· The “granddaddy”
of all modern gold bullion coins is the Gold Krugerrannd. Krugerrand coins were
introduced in 1967 and became so popular that by 1980 they accounted for 90% of
the gold bullion market.
· In the
current fraught financial climate, gold offers an ideal hedge against the
pervasive uncertainty. In this context, rare coins and medallions appeal as an
alternative, offering security and considerable potential for appreciation.
· The 60
million + Krugerrand ounces minted to date are amongst the world’s most
well-known gold coins.
