Obverse
The obverse of the silver coin features the portrayal of the beloved former President of South Africa – Paul Kruger. The silver coin bears the same image as the gold Krugerrand, inspired by the portrait used on the 1892 South African Gold Pond Coin. Around the portrait is inscribed “SUID AFRIKA SOUTH AFRICA”.
Reverse
The reverse of the coin showcases a Springbok – a medium-sized antelope native to the open, treeless plains of southern Africa – portrayed bounding across the savannah. “KRUGERRAND” is inscribed above the animal; the coin also features the year of the mintage on the sides and silver content “FYNSILWER 1OZ FINE SILVER” and nominal value R1.
