The legendary Krugerrand has kept the same iconic design since it was first seen in 1967, and every new instalment bears the current year.
The name ‘Krugerrand’ comes from the frist President of the Zuid Afrikaansche Republiek (ZAR), Paul Kruger and the monetary unit of South Africa, the rand, which is associated with the gold-producing area discovered in 1886 named Witwatersrand, meaning ‘the ridge of white water’.
The effigy of Paul Kruger is depicted on the obverse. The reserve was originally designed and engraved by the famous sculptor, Coert Steynberg, and features one of South Africa’s national animals, a Springbok.
