History

Since 1967, the South African Mint has been distributing the Krugerrand coin collection. The South African Mint is actually known for being the worlds most popular gold-producing locations. The Krugerrand collection, specifically, was released in order to show off and market South African gold. The term Krugerrand combines the name of Paul Kruger and the rand, which is the name for South African currency.

Obverse

The portrait of Paul Kruger, who was the first and only president of South Africa, appears on the 2009 South African Krugerrand 1 oz Gold Coin. Kruger still holds high distinction in South Africa, especially because he was the one that founded the South African Mint. In 1892, Kruger opened the Mint so that South Africa had a means for creating currency and could combat the coin shortage at the time.

Reverse

The image of a Springbok antelope, which is the national animal of South Africa, is seen on the 2009 South African Krugerrand 1 oz Gold Coin. Also featured on the coins reverse are its release year, purity, and weight. The inscription KRUGERRAND is shown above the image of the prancing antelope.
