Paul Kruger served as President of the South African Republic (Transvaal) from 1883 to 1900, a period shaped by the discovery of gold on the Witwatersrand in 1886. His administration navigated the interests of the Boer population and the influx of foreign miners, while also facing growing tension with the British Empire—pressures that contributed to the Second Boer War beginning in 1899.

On the obverse of the 2026 South African Gold Krugerrand, you’ll find the familiar portrait of Paul Kruger. This likeness first appeared on South African coinage in the 1890s and later became the defining image of the Krugerrand series, linking the modern bullion coin to earlier national coin designs.

The reverse of the 2026 1/2 oz Gold Krugerrand shows the Springbok antelope, a long-standing emblem in South African coinage. Revived for the Krugerrand in 1967, the Springbok design draws from motifs used on South African coins in the 1930s and 1940s and continues to serve as a clear symbol of national identity.
