While most of the 1 Pound South African Gold Coins were issued between 1910 and 1961 following the Union of 1910 that created the predecessor to the modern state of the Republic of South Africa. However, the earliest 1 Pound South African Coins were issued in the 19^th century. The first one was the so-called Burgers Pound issued in 1874 by Thomas Francois Burgers, but never released. President Paul Kruger’s 1 Pound Gold Coins were issued from 1892 to 1910 and were still permitted in circulation following the Union of 1910.

The obverse and reverse designs on the 1 Pound South African Gold Coins vary by the date mark and the series in which the coins were released. Burgers Pounds do not exist anymore, but Kruger Pounds are still around. These coins feature Paul Kruger’s bust on the obverse and the republic’s coat of arms on the reverse.

More recent 1 Pound South African Gold Coins were issued by the Rand Refinery and South African Mint between 1910 and 1961 with a bust of the reigning British monarch on the obverse and the Springbok antelope on the reverse.
