Numismatic classification

Early Krugerrand issues are highly sought after, not least because they document the beginnings of the world’s most important gold coin. Furthermore, circulating issues at that time were predominantly bullion coins, meaning that high-quality specimens were less frequently selected. MS 67 Top Pop therefore represents an exceptional example of condition within its year of issue and thus forms a strong anchor point in an ambitious Krugerrand series.
