Obverse

The effigy depicting the left profile of South African Former President Paul Kruger is featured. The inscriptions include “SUID-AFRIKA” in Afrikaans and “SOUTH AFRICA” in its English translation. Kruger was a famous historical figure, a renowned Boer military and political figure in South Africa, who inspired the name of the Krugerrand.

Interesting Fact

The Krugerrand was designed as a “working man’s coin.”

Reverse

Symbolizing South Africa’s vast flora and fauna, the Springbok Antelope is depicted as the national symbol of the modern Republic of South Africa. The graceful antelope is seen on the African lands surrounded by the inscriptions of the year of issue, purity, and weight with “KRUGERRAND.”

About the South African Mint

The South African Mint, founded in 1890, is a national mint. With the amended SARB Act 90 of 1989, it became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the South African Reserve Bank (SARB). Besides its flagship product, the Krugerrand, the South African Mint also produces the Big 5 Series, which honors and commemorates South Africa's diverse wildlife.

Historical Controversy

During the apartheid-era sanctions, the import of Krugerrands was banned by several Western Countries.

The Mint produces the Krugerrands in concert with Rand Refinery, the World’s largest single-site precious metals refining and smelting complex, which holds the trademark of “Krugerrand.”
