Gold Krugerrands are designed to be durable and are therefore .9170, or 91.7% gold, with the remainder being copper. This gold bullion coin also appears closer to an orange shade than coins alloyed with silver. Each one-ounce coin weighs 33.93 grams (consisting of 31.1 grams pure gold and 2.83 grams copper). The Krugerrand coin determines its value by its gold content plus a premium that is dictated by market conditions.
The gold coin from South Africa gets its' name from a combination of the first Boer president of the South African Republic, Paul Kruger, and the name of currency from South Africa, the rand.
Paul Kruger (obverse) - The coin features the former President of the old Republic of South Africa from 1883-1900, on the obverse of the coin.
African antelope-gazelle (reverse) - The springbok, a famous national symbol of the South African Republic, is on the reverse. The words "South Africa" and "fine gold" are displayed in both English and Afrikaans.
