When the South African Krugerrand coin was introduced in 1967, the South African Mint and Rand Refinery initially made it available only as a 1 oz gold coin. In 1980, fractional-ounce versions were added, making it easier for investors to purchase. Among these fractional coins 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 buy online from BullionMax.

Paul Kruger’s portrait first appeared on South African coins in the 1890s, and it continued to be featured long after his passing in 1904, marking his lasting impact on South African history. The Krugerrand, first minted in 1967, became one of the most recognized gold coins in the world, and Kruger’s image on the obverse helped make it a symbol of South African gold and economic strength.

The 2025 1/2 oz South African Gold Krugerrand Coins are available in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. You can buy them individually in protective flips or in multiples of 15 coins, each securely stored in a plastic tube for bulk purchases. As with all Krugerrands, these 1/2 oz Gold Krugerrands contain 91.67% gold and 8.33% copper in the alloy.

The obverse of the 2025 South African Gold Krugerrand features a left-profile portrait of Paul Kruger. Known as Oom Paul (Uncle Paul) in Afrikaans, Kruger’s image was originally created for South African coins in the 1890s and has been a key design element on Krugerrands ever since.

On the reverse side of the 2025 1/2 oz Gold Krugerrand, you’ll find the image of the Springbok antelope. This graceful animal, often seen mid-pronk (jumping), represents South Africa’s rich wildlife and heritage. The design, which was created in the 1930s, has been featured on the Krugerrand since its debut in 1967.
