Comment

The obverse is unsigned (no engraver's initials) but it is adapted from the original design of Otto Schultz by Tommy Sasseen.
From 1977 the proof strike has fine reeding while the uncirculated coin has coarse reeding.
From 1982, the reverse was slightly changed, the description of 1oz fine gold, etc. is in a slightly different position and the ground under the springbok has been changed quite drastically.
Over the years, some coins have varied from the specifications with slight variations in diameter and thickness.
Gold Reef City mint strike (1987-1991) has GRC mintmark between YN of reverse legend and "ground".
30th anniversary issue (1997) has Privy mark to the right of Springbok above 97 of date.
Limited edition mintmark issues began with 'SS' in 1997 then continued from 2001 onwards with a different mintmark each year (beginning with 'CW' in 2001).

Interesting fact

The Krugerrand was the first gold coin to be produced in a one-ounce denomination, making it a popular choice for gold investors. It was first introduced in 1967 and has been minted every year since then, with the exception of 1974 and 1985. The coin's design features the profile of Paul Kruger, the former President of the South African Republic, on the obverse side, and the springbok antelope on the reverse side. The Krugerrand is made of 24-karat gold, with a purity of .917, and has a diameter of 32.77 millimeters. It is considered a symbol of wealth and prosperity, and is highly sought after by collectors and investors worldwide.
