1 oz Gold South African Krugerrand Design and Specifications
While there are a number of gold coins available on the market today, the South African Krugerrand holds the distinguished honor of being the first one troy ounce gold bullion coin issued as legal tender by a government and whose intrinsic value is based on gold content rather than the face value of the coin. One of the most highly regarded and recognized gold bullion coins in the world today, the Krugerrand offers liquidity, portability and beauty to an investment portfolio.
The Krugerrand derives its name from combining the surname of Paul Kruger, a well-known Boer leader and local hero who went on to become the last president of the Republic of South Africa, and the "rand," a South African monetary unit.

The gold Krugerrand's obverse side features a profiled bust of its namesake, President Paul Kruger, and the word "South Africa" in both English and Afrikaans, the country's two native tongues. The reverse side depicts a springbok antelope, the year of issue and the coin's fineness.
The 1 oz South African Krugerrand is a 22-karat gold coin weighing 1.0909 ounces. Each coin consists of 2.826 grams of copper alloy providing increased durability, scratch resistance and unique orange-gold coloring. The gold Krugerrand has a thickness of 2.74mm thick, a diameter of 32.6 mm and a fineness of .9167.

However, Austria issued 100 Corona restrikes after the 2016 death of Franz Joseph to commemorate his reign. All those Corona commemoratives were dated 1915, which became a marketing advantage as they circumvented United States law prohibiting possession of gold from 1933 through 1974.
