The South African Chamber of Mines first introduced the concept of the Krugerrand in the 1960s to promote physical gold as an investment opportunity for the "man on the street." The Krugerrand was then released in 1967 as a legal tender coin and contained 1 troy ounce of fine gold mixed with copper. The coin is made from a gold-copper alloy in order to make it more durable and lasting. This gold coin was unique in that it had no denomination because its face value was connected to the daily gold price. However,the name of the coin partially comes from the “Rand,” the name of the South African currency. The other side features the first and only president of the nation, Paul Kruger. The Krugerrand was mass-produced so that it could be sold at a relatively low premium over the current gold price. In 1980 the fractional Krugerrands (1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz) were released, making the Krugerrand more accessible for more investors.

The designs on the coin are well-recognized all over the world hence they are easy to trade and liquidate. The obverse features a profile portrait of Paul Kruger, designed by Otto Schultz. The reverse depicts the Springbok antelope, a national symbol of South Africa, created by Coert Steynberg.
