The Krugerrand was first minted on 3 July 1967 to market South African gold. The name is a compound of Paul Kruger, the former President of the South African Republic (whose effigy is featured on the obverse), and rand, the South African unit of currency. The reverse is dominated by a pronking springbok, South Africa’s national animal.
The obverse was designed by Otto Schultz, while the reverse was designed by Coert Steynberg and was previously used on the reverse of the earlier South African five shillings (1947-51 and 1953-59) and 50 Cents (1961-64) coin. The name “South Africa” and the gold content are inscribed in both Afrikaans and English.
