1972 South Africa 1 oz Gold Krugerrand BU
Introduced during the mid-century era, the 1972 South African Krugerrand represents a classic chapter in world coinage. Struck by the South African Mint, this piece contains 1 ounce of gold with a purity of 0.9167. A total of 553,700 of these specimens were minted for the year 1972, making it a notable issue from the early years of this famous series. The obverse of the coin displays the profile of Paul Kruger, who served as the first president of South Africa. Surrounding his portrait are inscriptions of the nation's name rendered in two languages, Afrikaans and English, reading "SUID-AFRIKA" and "SOUTH AFRICA". On the reverse, the design showcases a springbok antelope, the recognized national animal of South Africa, captured in mid-stride. The reverse also displays the year of minting, 1972, split across the design, alongside details of the gold weight, which is inscribed in both Afrikaans and English as "FYNGOUD" and "FINE GOLD 1 OZ".
