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.
- Fynsilwer
- Below the springbok is the weight in fine silver, framed by FYNSILWER in Afrikaans and FINE SILVER in English. Fynsilwer means fine silver.
- 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 silver
Fine silver with a face value
The silver Krugerrand is struck in fine silver, with a fineness of 999 parts per thousand. Unlike the gold coin, it bears a face value in rand: R1 on the one-ounce coin, R2 and R5 on the larger coins.
The South African Mint produces the bullion coins together with the Rand Refinery. The silver bullion coin has existed since 2018. It has no fixed mintage: as many are struck as the market demands.
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.
375 coins, each with 31.1 g of fine silver.

The Krugerrand – A Legend from South Africa
Since 1967, the renowned Rand Refinery has been minting this iconic coin series. What began as a gold coin has long since been expanded to include the silver variant – and enjoys enormous popularity worldwide. The detailed portrait of Paul Kruger on the obverse and the dynamically leaping Springbok on the reverse make each individual coin a small work of art.
The high liquidity of these bullion coins is another decisive advantage. Krugerrand coins are recognized and traded worldwide. You can resell them practically anywhere on fair terms – an invaluable advantage in times of crisis.
Don't Forget the Tax Advantages
Particularly attractive for long-term oriented investors: profits from the sale of silver are generally tax-free, provided you hold the coins for at least one year. This regulation makes physical silver one of the most tax-efficient forms of investment of all.
Furthermore, silver benefits from steadily growing industrial demand. Electronics, solar technology, medical technology – the white precious metal is needed everywhere. This fundamental demand supports its value in the long term and makes silver far more than just a crisis metal.
Who Is This Package Suitable For?
This large package is aimed at forward-thinking investors seeking serious protection against various crises. With 375 ounces, you build up a substantial silver holding that can last for generations. Whether as a hedge against political instability, economic upheaval, or simply as solid retirement provision – these coins reliably fulfill their purpose.
