Obverse

On the obverse of the 2025 South African Gold Krugerrand, youll find a left-profile portrait of Paul Kruger. Affectionately known as Oom Paul (Uncle Paul) in Afrikaans, this design was first created in the 1890s for use on South African currency and has since become a hallmark of Krugerrands.

Reverse

The reverse side of the 2025 1/2 oz Gold Krugerrand features the Springbok antelope, an iconic symbol of South Africas wildlife. The design, originally introduced in the 1930s, has been featured on Krugerrands since the coins debut in 1967.

History

Paul Krugers portrait first appeared on South African coins in the 1890s and continued to be used after his death in 1904, marking his lasting influence on the countrys history. The Krugerrand, introduced in 1967, quickly became one of the most well-known gold coins globally. Featuring Krugers image on the obverse, the coin became a symbol of South African gold and economic strength.
