Gold Krugerrand coin belong in your collection? In 1967, the South African Mint introduced the one ounce Gold Krugerrand series as the first government issued gold bullion coin worldwide.

The coin is minted with a fantastic proof finish, featuring exquisitely frosted design elements contrasted against lustrous mirrored fields. The coin measures 16.50 mm in diameter. The perfectly graded coin qualified for the collectible First Releases designation. The coin is part of a limited mintage of only 5,000 pieces. Beautifully Detailed Krugerrand Imagery. Obverse: The left facing likeness of former South African President Paul Kruger is centered on the obverse. The portrait is surrounded by inscriptions citing the issuing nation in both Afrikaans and English as “SUID-AFRIKA” and SOUTH AFRICA. This image, designed by award-winning sculptor Otto Schultz, was originally created for the South African Gold Pond coin in 1892. Reverse: A springbok antelope is featured on the reverse, gracefully leaping over the foliage of the South African savanna. This iconic interpretation of the national animal was initially minted upon the 1948 South African five shilling coin. The design is credited to Coert Steynberg, an acclaimed South African sculptor.
