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 2025 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.

An investment with many advantages
The 1/4 oz Gold Krugerrand 2025 is not only a beautiful collector's item but also an excellent investment. Gold has been a stable and proven store of value for over 6,000 years. It has never had a value of zero, as it possesses intrinsic value. Gold protects you against loss of purchasing power and is one of the oldest currencies in the world. It is used as an inflation hedge and protection against currency risks.
Tax advantages and high liquidity
Another advantage of gold is that profits from its sale are generally tax-free if the holding period is at least one year. In addition, gold is exempt from VAT. The high liquidity of gold makes it easy to convert into cash when needed. This makes the 1/4 oz Gold Krugerrand 2025 a flexible and attractive form of investment.
Confidence in a proven investment
Gold has a low correlation with other asset classes such as stocks and bonds, which contributes to portfolio diversification. It offers protection against political and economic crises and can be used as a medium of exchange in times of currency instability. The world's largest holders of gold are central banks, demonstrating that even they trust in the stability and intrinsic value of gold.
A valuable legacy for future generations
Gold can serve as a long-term retirement provision and pass on wealth from generation to generation. It serves as a store of value when trust in fiat money fluctuates or declines. While fiat money is printed and controlled by central banks, the availability and supply of gold are limited, which contributes to the stability of its value. The convertibility of gold into fiat money offers a certain degree of flexibility, as it can be converted into cash when required.
A globally recognised medium of exchange
Gold is held worldwide as a reserve currency by central banks to support the stability of the financial system. Unlike fiat money, which is backed by trust in governments and their ability to preserve value, gold has intrinsic value due to its physical properties. Gold has been used as a store of value and medium of trade since antiquity. Thousands of years ago, civilisations already recognised the value and appeal of gold.
A symbol of wealth and power
Throughout history, gold has been regarded by various cultures and civilisations as a symbol of wealth, power and prestige. It was worn by kings, emperors and other rulers as a sign of their power and authority. Gold played an important role in international trade, particularly along the Silk Road and during the discovery of new continents. It was used to facilitate the exchange of goods and services.
The 1/4 oz Gold Krugerrand 2025 is therefore not only a piece of history but also a secure and valuable investment for the future. Secure this masterpiece of minting artistry and benefit from the numerous advantages that come with owning gold.
