Description
The flagship product of the Krugerrand family, the 1oz gold Krugerrands’ classic size has been central to the Krugerrand collection for over 50 years.
The Krugerrand is a South African coin, first minted on 3 July 1967 to help market South African gold and produced by Rand Refinery and the South African Mint. The name is a compound of Paul Kruger, the former President of the South African Republic (depicted on the obverse), and rand, the South African unit of currency.
From 1977 the proof strike has fine reeding while the uncirculated coin has coarse reading. From 1982, the reverse was slightly changed, the description of 1oz fine gold, etc. is in a slightly different position and the ground under the springbok has been changed quite drastically. Over the years, some coins have varied from the specifications with slight variations in diameter and thickness.
• 30th-anniversary issue (1997) has a privy mark to the right of Springbok above 97 of date.
• Limited edition mintmark issues began with 'SS' in 1997 and then continued from 2001 onwards with a different mintmark each year (beginning with 'CW' in 2001).
