This makes the coin strong and durable.

The front of the coin bears the image of the first President of the South African Republic Paul Kruger. The country of origin “SOUTH AFRICA” is inscribed on the obverse in both English and Afrikaans. The back is engraved with a springbok antelope, the national symbol of South Africa. The year of manufacture, the weight, and the word “KRUGERRAND” also appear on the reverse.

Gold Krugerrand coins are not new to investors, they’re timeless and very popular among investors. The copper alloy makes the coin durable, but the price is only determined by the gold content. Nevertheless, premium prices are determined by the market. Krugerrand gold coins are easily recognized because of their reddish appearance.

The first Krugerrand gold coin was struck in 1967 and was the pioneering gold bullion coin in the world. Today, the gold Krugerrand is a must-have among investors showing up as a staple in many portfolios. The coin was struck to promote South African gold in international markets. The coins don’t have a face value and the price is determined by the prevailing gold prices.

Krugerrand coins are a custodian of some of South African history. For instance, the figure appearing on the front, Paul Kruger, was a popular figure in post-British South Africa. The hopping springbok inscribed on the back is a symbol of the youthfulness and vibrancy of South Africa as a nation.

The South African Mint collaborates with the Rand Refinery to mint bullion coins. The South African Reserve Bank owns the mint that also strikes currency coins. In 1886, Paul Kruger established a national mint when gold was discovered near Johannesburg. Currently, the South African mint is one of the biggest mints in the world and a top exporter.

The image of Paul Kruger appearing on the coin was designed in the 1890s to be used on gold coins that were circulated as the South African Pound. The last update to the image was done in 1984 but is still based on the original design by Otto Schultz done in 1892.
