Exquisite Springbok Antelope Design by Coert Steynberg
Obverse: A left-side portrait of Paul Kruger, the third President of the South African Republic, graces the obverse. The image, which shows the pivotal leader in his characteristic long, thick beard, was designed by Otto Schultz. It is joined by inscriptions of the name of the issuing country in Afrikaans, "SUID-AFRIKA," and English, "SOUTH AFRICA."

The image splits the date, "2022," the first two digits of which are on the left and the last two of which are on the right. Rim inscriptions provide the name of the coin, "KRUGERRAND," its metal content in Afrikaans and English, "FYNSILWER 1 OZ FINE SILVER," and its face value, "R1." Coert Steynberg was a famous South African sculptor. He was extremely versatile, working with stone, marble, bronze, copper and wood.
