½ oz Gold Krugerrand (2021)
Is any gold bullion coin as iconic as the Krugerrand? The 1oz gold Krugerrand made its debut in 1967. Its success was so rapid that by 1980 the South African Mint and Rand Refinery decided to introduce fractional coins such as the ½ oz Gold Krugerrand.

The coin’s obverse bears the internationally known portrait of Paul Kruger by artist Otto Schultz. The reverse of the 2021 ½ oz Gold Krugerrand, like its predecessors, shows the springbok antelope, a symbol of the country and also the inspiration for the name of its world-famous rugby team.
