2017 Springbok

The 2017 1 oz Springbok Gold Coin was issued by the South African Mint to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Krugerrand, one of the world’s most recognized gold coins. The design features the elegant Springbok, an iconic symbol of South Africa and a familiar motif in the nation’s numismatic history.

Struck in 22-carat gold (.9167 purity) and finished in proof quality, the coin contains one full troy ounce of fine gold. The reverse showcases the graceful springbok antelope in motion across the African plains, while the obverse features the portrait of Paul Kruger, President of the South African Republic.

Collectors appreciate the 2017 Springbok coin for its historical significance, exceptional craftsmanship, and connection to the famous Krugerrand series. The coin was released in multiple fractional sizes, making it accessible to both collectors and investors interested in South African gold coins.

As part of the commemorative 50-year celebration, the 1 oz Springbok proof coin remains a desirable addition to modern South African numismatic collections.
