When the South African Krugerrand coin launched in 1967, the South African Mint and Rand Refinery initially offered it exclusively as a 1 oz gold coin. In 1980, the series expanded to include fractional-ounce options, providing greater accessibility to investors. Among these is the 1/2 oz Gold Krugerrand, the largest of the fractional coins. Right now, 2025 1/2 oz South African Gold Krugerrand Coins are available to purchase online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Paul Kruger’s effigy first appeared on South African coins in the 1890s. The Kruger effigy continued to appear on South African coins long after his death in 1904, becoming a lasting testament to his influence on South African history. The Krugerrand, first minted in 1967, became one of the world’s most famous gold coins, featuring Kruger’s portrait on its obverse side. The decision to use his image on this internationally traded coin helped establish it as a globally recognized symbol of South African gold and economic strength.
All of these 2025 1/2 oz South African Gold Krugerrand Coins comes in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. Coins in the 1/2 oz Krugerrand Series are available individually in protective flips or in multiples of 15 coins, securely housed in plastic tubes for bulk purchases. Like all Krugerrands, the 1/2 oz Gold Krugerrand features 91.67% gold with 8.33% copper in the alloy.
The obverse of the 2025 South African Gold Krugerrand features a left-profile portrait of Kruger. Known affectionately as Oom Paul, or Uncle Paul in Afrikaans, his enduring image on South African coinage was first created in the 1890s for use on gold coins of the South African Pound.
On the reverse of the 2025 1/2 oz Gold Krugerrands, you’ll see a depiction of the Springbok antelope. Shown mid-pronk, this graceful creature symbolizes South Africa’s rich wildlife and heritage. The design was initially created for South African coins in the 1930s and has been a hallmark of the Krugerrand series since its debut in 1967.
