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.
Proof
Placed by hand
The proof finish has accompanied the Krugerrand since the very first year of issue: in 1967, 10,000 gold Krugerrands were made in this quality.
For the 2017 anniversary, the South African Mint described its process as follows: the coins are placed by hand and struck several times at lower pressure, so that every detail is transferred flawlessly.
Each coin is then packed by hand and protected in a capsule, so that it stays just as it left the press.
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.

✔ Die Vorderseite der Goldmünze
Auf der Vorderseite der Krügerrand ist immer das Porträt von Paul Kruger zu sehen, das von Otto Schultz entworfen wurde. Paul Kruger war ein südafrikanischer Politiker, der von 1883 bis 1902 als Präsident der Südafrikanischen Republik diente. Der Name Krügerrand setzt sich aus dem Nachnamen des Präsidenten (Krüger) sowie aus der offiziellen Währung Südafrikas zusammen (Rand).
Bei dem Krügerrand handelt es sich nämlich um eine südafrikanische Münze.
✔ Die Rückseite der Goldmünze
Die Rückseite der Krügerrand zeigt stets einen Springbock. Der Springbock ist schließlich in Südafrika beheimatet und gilt als das Nationaltier des Landes. Das Motiv wurde von Coert Steynberg entworfen.
✔ Besonderheiten des Krügerrands
Der Krügerrand wurde zum ersten Mal am 3. Juli 1967 geprägt und ist somit die älteste Anlagemünze der Welt. Aber nicht nur deshalb, sondern auch aufgrund ihrer immer gleichbleibenden Motive, hat der Krügerrand einen enorm hohen Bekanntheitsgrad. Überall auf der ganzen Welt wird die Münze erkannt und akzeptiert.
Das besondere an dem Krügerrand ist außerdem, dass dieser keinen Nennwert besitzt. Der Nennwert richtet sich immer nach dem aktuellen Goldpreis und schwankt daher. Zudem besteht diese Goldmünze nicht nur aus Gold, sondern auch zu einem geringen Anteil aus Kupfer. Das liegt daran, dass Kupfer die Münze stabiler und robuster macht. Sie ist dadurch weniger anfällig für Kratzer.
