Featuring a Graceful Springbok Antelope Design by Coert Steynberg

On the obverse is a left-side portrait of one of the most important men in South African history, Paul Kruger. Designed by Otto Schultz, the image shows the third President of the South African Republic with his characteristic long, thick beard. Kruger is a controversial figure in the nation's history, but his importance is undisputed. He is joined by inscriptions of the name of the issuing country in Afrikaans, "SUID-AFRIKA," and English, "SOUTH AFRICA."

The national animal of South Africa, the springbok antelope, features on the reverse. The design by Coert Steynberg shows the creature running in the plains, its natural habitat. Steynberg shows the animal from the right with its head turned to the right of the holder in a way that offers a clearer view of its horns. The name of the coin, "KRUGERRAND," is inscribed on the rim at the top, while inscriptions at the bottom of the coin note the coin's weight in Afrikaans and English, reading, "FYNGOUD 1 OZ FINE GOLD." The first two digits of the date, "20," are set to the left of the springbok, while the last two, "20," are on the right.
