The Krugerrand coin is a popular program from South Africa.

Introduced in 1967 to promote the nation’s gold reserves for private investment, the South African government developed the naming of the coin based upon one of the nation’s historic presidents and the official currency used in the country.

Paul Kruger was the fifth and final president of the South African Republic, serving in that role from 1883 to 1900 when he left the country for Europe to live in exile away from British governance.

The Rand is the nation’s official currency, and Kruger’s name was combined with Rand to form the popular coin’s name.

ON THE OBVERSE of the 2018 1 oz South African Silver Krugerrand Coin is the image of Paul Kruger.

This left profile portrait captures the image of President Kruger, the man many Boers referred to as “Oom Paul,” or Uncle Paul.

THE REVERSE side of the 2018 Silver Krugerrand features the image of a Springbok antelope.

The creature is the official symbol of the country and has featured on the reverse of Krugerrand coins since 1967.

The modern Krugerrand designs have images modified in 1984, with Otto Schultz completing work ON THE OBVERSE design and Coert Steynberg revamping the Springbok antelope on the reverse.
