Framing the southern tip of the African continent between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans with its executive capital at Pretoria, legislative seat at Cape Town, and judicial seat at Bloemfontein, South Africa revolutionized global bullion collecting in 1967 with the launch of the 22-carat gold Krugerrand. Replacing the pound on February 14, 1961, the South African rand (ZAR)—named after the gold-rich Witwatersrand ridge—and cent are struck by the South African Mint featuring native fauna such as the springbok, greater kudu, wildebeest, and strelitzia flower.
