On the coin’s reverse, designed by C.L. Steynberg, there is a running springbok, which is a South African antelope. You will also find the date of issue, with the first two digits of the year to the left of the springbok, and the last two digits to its right. “KRUGERRAND” arches across the top, while the amount and purity of gold are at the bottom. There is no face value because it is primarily minted for trading outside South Africa.
Each Krugerrand coin is comprised of approximately 91 2/3 parts gold and 8 1/3 parts copper. The South African Mint became a full subsidiary of the SA Reserve Bank in 1988.
