Obverse
On the obverse side of 1979 South African Krugerrand Gold Coins, you will find a depiction of Paul Kruger. This left-profile portrait is a stately image of the man who served as the first president of the South African Republic. Kruger served a total of four terms as president and was so beloved by South Africans that he was often referred to as Oom Paul, the Afrikaan term for Uncle Paul. Inscriptions on this side include SOUTH AFRICA and SUID AFRIKA.
Reverse
The reverse field of the 1979 Krugerrand 1 oz Gold Coin comes with an image of the Springbok antelope. The modern, independent nation of the Republic of South Africa has adopted the native species as its national emblem. The Springbok is shown here in right-profile relief with inscriptions on this field reading KRUGERRAND, 1979, and FYNGOUD 1 OZ FINE GOLD.
