Description
The 2026 1/2 oz Proof Gold Krugerrand continues the legacy of South Africa’s flagship gold coin series in a mid-range fractional format. Originally introduced in 1980 to broaden access to gold ownership alongside the full ounce issue, this half-ounce release delivers the same historic design elements in a highly collectible proof finish.
The obverse displays Otto Schultz’s profile portrait of former President Paul Kruger, surrounded by “South Africa” in English and Afrikaans. The reverse features Coert Steynberg’s iconic springbok antelope galloping across the South African landscape, accompanied by inscriptions denoting the 2026 year date, metal purity, and 1/2 oz fine gold content. Struck in durable 22-karat crown gold, its polished fields and frosted artwork highlight the South African Mint’s master-die crafting.
