Each 2026 1 oz South African Gold Krugerrand Tube includes coins in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. This listing is for full tubes only, with a total of 10 coins per tube. The Krugerrand’s 22-karat alloy is 91.67% gold and 8.33% copper, which helps resist wear while giving the coins a distinct, rich gold color.

The name “Krugerrand” joins “Kruger” with “rand.” “Rand” refers to both South Africa’s currency and the Witwatersrand region, an area known for major gold discoveries that shaped the country’s modern gold industry. Using Kruger’s name links the coin to a central figure from the era when those discoveries brought global attention to the region.

The obverse of the 2026 South African Gold Krugerrand shows a left-facing portrait of Paul Kruger, the first elected President of the South African Republic. This likeness traces back to designs prepared in the 1890s for the South African Gold Pound and has remained a hallmark of Krugerrand coinage.

On the reverse of the 2026 1 oz Gold Krugerrand, the Springbok antelope appears in motion. This image first featured on South African coinage in the 1930s and 1940s and was brought back for the Krugerrand in 1967. It continues to serve as a simple, recognizable symbol of South Africa’s natural heritage.
