The South African Gold Krugerrand Coin is one of a kind coin that originated in the heart of South Africa. It became the first official gold bullion coin that opened up the South African gold market to collectors and investors who were highly impressed with the series which went on to dominate the market for 12 years without competition. This is mainly because of the unique designs you find on the obverse and reverse of the coin. They were designed by the meticulous hands of Otto Schultz and Coert Steynberg. The obverse showcases the portrait of Paul Kruger, the first President of the African Republic while the reverse pays homage to the national, native antelope. No other gold coin or series offered the same prestige and elegance for more than 12 years!
