In the obverse design of the 2026 1 oz Gold Krugerrand Coin, you’ll find a left-profile portrait of Paul Kruger, the first elected President of the South African Republic. Originally engraved in the 1890s for the South African Gold Pound, this classic likeness has remained a key part of the Krugerrand’s look ever since.

For the reverse of the 2026 South African Gold Krugerrand, the Springbok antelope appears in a layout inspired by designs used on South African coinage in the 1930s–40s, then brought back for the Gold Krugerrand in 1967. The Springbok continues to serve as a strong national emblem for South Africa.

Following Britain’s annexation of the Transvaal in 1877, Kruger became one of three leaders in a triumvirate guiding the resistance alongside Piet Joubert and Marthinus Pretorius. This leadership coordinated Boer efforts against British control, leading to the First Boer War of 1880–1881 and the Boer victory at the Battle of Majuba Hill. The triumvirate’s negotiations produced the Pretoria Convention of 1881, which restored self-government to the Transvaal.
