The Krugerrand was first minted in 1967 to market South African gold and named after Paul Kruger and the country's currency. The obverse displays a relief of Paul Kruger, designed by Otto Schultz in 1892, together with the inscriptions "SUID-AFRIKA" and "SOUTH AFRICA". Suid-Afrika is Afrikaans for South Africa.
The reverse of the Krugerrand ½ oz Gold Coin 2022 features a native South African springbok and was designed by Coert Steynberg in 1947. The inscriptions include "KRUGERRAND", the year of minting and the weight. Over the years the Krugerrand's reverse design has only undergone very minor changes.
The gold Krugerrand, with a purity of 22 karats (917/1000), contains copper as an alloying component to the 24 karat gold, lending it greater durability and a distinct reddish hue. Whilst its face value is absent from the coin, it retains legal tender status in South Africa.

The Krugerrand is globally recognised as one of the most illustrious coins, cherished for its rich historical background and charming design. Its enduring blend of historical significance and aesthetic allure has solidified its place in the realm of precious metal investments.
