The Krugerrand's actual weight is 1.0909 troy ounces (33.93 g)
It is minted from gold alloy that is 91.67% pure (22 karats), so the coin contains one troy ounce (31.1035 g) of gold
The coin is so named because the obverse, designed by Otto Schultz, [12] bears the face of Boer statesman Paul Kruger, four-term president of the old South African Republic
The reverse depicts a springbok, one of the national symbols of South Africa
Since September 1980, Krugerrands have also become available in three different sizes containing exactly 1/2 ounce, 1/4 ounce and 1/10 ounce of pure gold
