Front design :

The impressive obverse of the coin features the renowned portrait of Paul Kruger. This image is so significant that the entire coin series bears the name ‘Krugerrand’ in its honor.

An interesting detail on the edge of the coin is that the issuing country is minted in two languages: English and Afrikaans.
