The leap that began in 1967.
You are looking at the side with the springbok.
Gold for the hands of ordinary people.
In the late 1960s, around three quarters of the western world’s gold came from South Africa. The Chamber of Mines wanted ordinary people, too, to be able to own gold.
With the Krugerrand, a new kind of coin came into being for this purpose: exactly one ounce of fine gold, with no face value struck on it. Its value was meant to come directly from the gold it contains.
6,012,293
Krugerrand bullion coins were issued in 1978 alone, 187 tonnes of gold in all.
A leap through history
1886
Gold on the Witwatersrand
On the Witwatersrand, the ridge of white water, rich gold deposits are discovered. South Africa’s currency is also named after it: the rand.
1947
The springbok
The sculptor Coert Steynberg draws his springbok in 1946 and 1947. It first appears in 1947 on the 5-shilling coin marking the visit of the British royal family.
1967
The first Krugerrand
On 3 July, commissioned by the South African Reserve Bank and the Chamber of Mines, the South African Mint strikes the first Krugerrand.
1980
Smaller sizes
The half ounce, the quarter ounce and the tenth ounce are added so that smaller sums can also be invested in gold.
2017
Fifty years
For the anniversary, the first silver Krugerrand appears, along with the 1/20 and 1/50 ounce in gold. For these coins, the designers go back to the original wax models and designs.
The motif
The springbok and the president
- The springbok
- South Africa’s national animal in mid-leap. The springbok owes its name to its characteristic leaps. It was designed by the sculptor Coert Steynberg.
- The aloe
- The motif includes an Aloe claviflora, one of South Africa’s best-known aloes. It grows in the dry interior of the country, where the springbok is also at home.
- Fyngoud
- Below the springbok is the fine gold content, framed by FYNGOUD in Afrikaans and FINE GOLD in English. Fyngoud means fine gold.
- Paul Kruger
- The other side shows Paul Kruger in profile. In 1883 he became president of the South African Republic, also known as the Transvaal. The portrait was created by the die engraver Otto Schultz. According to the South African Mint, it goes back to the Kruger half-crown of 1892.
- The name
- Krugerrand combines the name Kruger with the rand, South Africa’s currency.
The alloy
Eleven parts gold, one part copper
The Krugerrand is made of 22-carat gold: eleven twelfths fine gold and one twelfth copper. The copper makes the coin harder and more resistant to scratches. It also gives the coin its warm, reddish sheen.
Every coin contains its full weight in fine gold, and the copper is added on top. That is why the one-ounce coin weighs 33.93 grams and yet contains exactly one ounce of fine gold.
The South African Mint produces the bullion coins together with the Rand Refinery. The refinery in Germiston was founded in 1920 so that South Africa’s gold no longer had to be shipped to London for refining. There, refined gold is cast into strips, rolled and punched into coin blanks.
The same leap since 1967.
This issue too.
By its 50th anniversary in 2017, more than 60 million Krugerrands had been sold. The 2023 issue is part of this story, and the story goes on, in your hand and perhaps one day in the hand of someone you pass it on to.

✔ Paul Kruger – ein ehemaliger südafrikanischer Präsident
Auf der Motivseite der Krügerrand Münze ist immer das Porträt des ehemaligen südafrikanischen Präsidenten Paul Kruger eingeprägt. Der Krügerrand ist nämlich eine südafrikanische Anlagemünze und wird von dem Unternehmen Rand Refinery herausgebracht.
Paul Kruger war von 1883 bis 1902 der Präsident der Südafrikanischen Republik. Ihm ist auch der Name Krügerrand zu verdanken. Dieser ist nämlich eine Kombination aus Kruger und Rand. Rand ist die Währung Südafrikas.
✔ Der südafrikanische Springbock
Der Springbock ist nur in Südafrika beheimatet und wird aus diesem Grund als das Nationaltier angesehen. Deshalb ziert das Tier auch die Rückseite der Krügerrand Münze. Auf der Rückseite finden Sie zudem Angaben zur Münze: die Stückelung (1/2 Unze) und das Prägejahr (2023).
Einen Nennwert werden Sie auf der Rückseite vergeblich suchen, denn der Krügerrand hat keinen festen Nennwert. Dieser orientiert sich am Materialwert und ändert sich dementsprechend immer.
✔ Die Feinheit der Münze
Der Krügerrand hat eine Feinheit von 916,67. Zu dem restlichen Anteil besteht die Münze nämlich aus Kupfer. Das hat den Vorteil, dass die Münze dadurch kratzfester und robuster wird.
