2023 | Krugerrand
The legendary Krugerrand has kept the same iconic design since it was first seen in 1967, and every new instalment bears the current year.
The name ‘Krugerrand’ comes from the first President of the Zuid Afrikaansche Republiek (ZAR), Paul Kruger and the monetary unit of South Africa, the rand, which is associated with the gold-producing area discovered in 1886 named
Witwatersrand, meaning ‘the ridge of white water’.
The effigy of Paul Kruger is depicted on the obverse. The reverse was originally designed and engraved by the famous sculptor, Coert Steynberg, and features one of South Africa’s national animals, a Springbok.
The new 7-coin set is comprised of all the existing gold Krugerrand proof sizes, namely the 2oz, 1oz, 1/2oz, 1/4oz, 1/10oz, 1/20oz and 1/50oz proof Krugerrand coins.
