The leap that began in 1967.
You are looking at the side with the springbok.
Gold for the hands of ordinary people.
In the late 1960s, around three quarters of the western world’s gold came from South Africa. The Chamber of Mines wanted ordinary people, too, to be able to own gold.
With the Krugerrand, a new kind of coin came into being for this purpose: exactly one ounce of fine gold, with no face value struck on it. Its value was meant to come directly from the gold it contains.
6,012,293
Krugerrand bullion coins were issued in 1978 alone, 187 tonnes of gold in all.
A leap through history
1886
Gold on the Witwatersrand
On the Witwatersrand, the ridge of white water, rich gold deposits are discovered. South Africa’s currency is also named after it: the rand.
1947
The springbok
The sculptor Coert Steynberg draws his springbok in 1946 and 1947. It first appears in 1947 on the 5-shilling coin marking the visit of the British royal family.
1967
The first Krugerrand
On 3 July, commissioned by the South African Reserve Bank and the Chamber of Mines, the South African Mint strikes the first Krugerrand.
1980
Smaller sizes
The half ounce, the quarter ounce and the tenth ounce are added so that smaller sums can also be invested in gold.
2017
Fifty years
For the anniversary, the first silver Krugerrand appears, along with the 1/20 and 1/50 ounce in gold. For these coins, the designers go back to the original wax models and designs.
The motif
The springbok and the president
- The springbok
- South Africa’s national animal in mid-leap. The springbok owes its name to its characteristic leaps. It was designed by the sculptor Coert Steynberg.
- The aloe
- The motif includes an Aloe claviflora, one of South Africa’s best-known aloes. It grows in the dry interior of the country, where the springbok is also at home.
- Fyngoud
- Below the springbok is the fine gold content, framed by FYNGOUD in Afrikaans and FINE GOLD in English. Fyngoud means fine gold.
- Paul Kruger
- The other side shows Paul Kruger in profile. In 1883 he became president of the South African Republic, also known as the Transvaal. The portrait was created by the die engraver Otto Schultz. According to the South African Mint, it goes back to the Kruger half-crown of 1892.
- The name
- Krugerrand combines the name Kruger with the rand, South Africa’s currency.
The alloy
Eleven parts gold, one part copper
The Krugerrand is made of 22-carat gold: eleven twelfths fine gold and one twelfth copper. The copper makes the coin harder and more resistant to scratches. It also gives the coin its warm, reddish sheen.
Every coin contains its full weight in fine gold, and the copper is added on top. That is why the one-ounce coin weighs 33.93 grams and yet contains exactly one ounce of fine gold.
Proof
Placed by hand
The proof finish has accompanied the Krugerrand since the very first year of issue: in 1967, 10,000 gold Krugerrands were made in this quality.
For the 2017 anniversary, the South African Mint described its process as follows: the coins are placed by hand and struck several times at lower pressure, so that every detail is transferred flawlessly.
Each coin is then packed by hand and protected in a capsule, so that it stays just as it left the press.
The same leap since 1967.
Only the year is new.
By its 50th anniversary in 2017, more than 60 million Krugerrands had been sold. The 2026 issue carries this story forward, in your hand and perhaps one day in the hand of someone you pass it on to.

The legendary design – Timeless elegance from South Africa
The reverse of this collector's coin is adorned with the majestic Springbok – South Africa's national animal. In a dynamic pose, the elegant antelope leaps across the South African savannah, framed by the inscription "KRUGERRAND" and the year 2026. The inscription "FYNGOUD 2 OZ FINE GOLD" confirms the precious content of this extraordinary coin.
On the obverse, Paul Kruger, the legendary President of the South African Republic from 1883 to 1902, gazes dignifiedly to the side. His striking profile with the characteristic full beard is framed by the inscriptions "SUID-AFRIKA" and "SOUTH AFRICA". This depiction honours the namesake of one of the world's most famous coin series.
Technical perfection in Proof quality
The Proof minting quality represents the highest level of numismatic craftsmanship. Each individual specimen is struck using specially polished dies on high-gloss polished blanks. The result? Mirror-like fields and matte reliefs that create a breathtaking contrast. This technique renders every detail of the Springbok and Paul Kruger's portrait sharply visible.
"Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, barter is the money of farmers – but debt is the money of slaves."

Gold – The eternal store of value
For over 6,000 years, people have trusted in the permanence of gold. It has outlived every currency, endured every war, and weathered every economic crisis. The Krugerrand itself has been making history since 1967 as the world's first modern bullion coin. The combination of this legendary status and the very low mintage of only 200 pieces creates high appreciation potential for collectors.
The characteristic reddish-golden colour of the Krugerrand results from the copper content in the alloy. This traditional composition not only makes the coin more resistant to scratches but also gives it its distinctive warm lustre. A lustre that has fascinated for millennia – and will never fade.
For discerning collectors
This 2 oz Gold Krugerrand 2026 in PP quality is aimed at collectors seeking the extraordinary. The coin offers inflation hedge and crisis protection in a form that goes far beyond pure material value. Profits from the sale of gold are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year – a further advantage for collectors with a long-term outlook.
