The South African Krugerrand was launched in 1967 to help market South African gold, and it remains one of the best-known gold bullion coins. Each 1 oz coin carries exactly one troy ounce of pure gold, alloyed with copper to 22 karat so it resists scratches and wear better than pure gold. The Paul Kruger portrait is on one side and the leaping springbok on the other. Produced by Rand Refinery and the South African Mint. Year varies by availability.

- Launched in 1967 to help market South African gold, and recognised by dealers and investors around the world.
