Krugerrands

Introduced in 1967, the Krugerrand is struck in 22 carat gold, making it durable. Krugerrands are probably the most traded gold bullion coin in the world.

The Krugerrand Family

Originally only one size was issued, which contained one full troy ounce (31.1035 grams) of fine gold. This was originally known as a Krugerrand, or Kruger, for short. From 1980, three other sizes were introduced, namely a half, quarter, and tenth ounce size. Because of these, the original Krugerrand is sometimes referred to as a "full" or "one ounce" Kruger or Krugerrand, although within the trade, the word Kruger or Krugerrand is understood to be the full sized original one ounce version.

Krugerrands were first minted and issued in 1967, and have been produced every year since. They have legal tender status in South Africa, which allowed them to be imported into many, but not all, countries without import taxes, duty or VAT.

Obverse

Obverse designed by Otto Schultz features Paul Kruger, the Boer statesman who served as President of the Afrikaner South African Republic. The coin bears the inscription:

SUID-AFRIKA • SOUTH AFRICA

Reverse

The reverse features the national animal of South Africa, a Springbok antelope designed by CL Steynberg.

The reverse also bears the privy mark denoting the 50th anniversary of the Krugerrand's introduction. It features a '50' surrounced by the text "1967 - 2017 (50) YEAR ANNIVERSARY"
