The History Behind KJC and Jaggards
As KJC Coins Australia approaches 30 years in business, we share our untold legacy in the bullion and numismatic industry.
If there’s anything the Jaggard name is synonymous within Australia, it’s Gold. In fact, our name is the oldest and most reputable name when it comes to bullion and numismatic merchants in Australia. When you purchase with KJC Coins Australia, you are dealing with Australia’s only bullion and numismatic dealer that still has an actual Jaggard running the business.
A Family Legacy and Heritage
In 1963, Carol and Robert Jaggard founded the numismatic and bullion company Jaggards. Kurt Jaggard, a university graduate was born into the trade. He grew up around his parent’s business and after a short stint on the foreign exchange desks with merchant banks eventually became director and half-owner of Jaggards. Reluctantly, Robert and Carol sold the company Jaggards due to family separation, and Kurt started KJC Coins Australia in 1995 with his wife Nathalie. It’s important to note that while the bullion Company Jaggards still bears the family name, there is absolutely no actual member of the Jaggard family and the associated industry experience involved with it in any way or means. Additionally, Kurt and Nathalie Jaggard’s daughter Remie Jaggard, also a university graduate who grew up around her parents' business has now worked to become the business manager at KJC Coins Australia, bringing in fresh talent meaning the Jaggard's legacy continues with KJC now being multi-generational.
