Krugerrand 1/2oz Gold Coin 2025
Rand Refinery
The Rand Refinery was the inventor of the standard 1oz investment gold coin. With the launch of the Krugerrand in 1967 it still produces the most well-known gold coin in the world today.
First issued in South Africa in 1967, the Krugerrand is a highly recognised bullion coin. Its obverse features a portrait of Paul Kruger, originally designed by Otto Schultz in 1892, surrounded by the inscriptions “SUID-AFRIKA” (Afrikaans for South Africa) and “SOUTH AFRICA” in English.
The Krugerrand’s reverse features a pronking springbok, designed by Coert Steynberg in 1947. It bears the inscription “KRUGERRAND” plus the year of mintage and the coin’s weight. Relatively unchanged over the years, this design reflects South Africa’s natural heritage and reinforces the Krugerrand’s iconic status.
The gold Krugerrand, with a purity of 917/1000, contains a significant amount of copper for added durability, giving it a reddish tint. Despite lacking a face value, it is officially accepted as legal tender in South Africa.
The Krugerrand ½ oz Gold Coin 2025 is minted from ½ a troy ounce of fine gold and has a fine weight of 15.55 grams. It has a diameter of 27.00 mm and a thickness of 2.215 mm. The Krugerrand is also available in weights of 1 oz, ¼ oz and 1/10 oz in gold and 1 oz in silver.
The Krugerrand’s history, design and reputation make it one of the world’s most sought-after bullion coins, symbolising stability and wealth.
