The 2017 Natura special edition set is made up of a Krugerrand and a R100 1 oz gold coin featuring a conceptual drawing by South African sculptor Coert Steynberg (1905-1982) which was originally submitted for the 5 shilling coin from 1947 - a design the final version of which eventually became the reverse of the Krugerrand. The Springbok coin has a privy mark on the reverse: the artist's signature, while the Krugerrand has a privy mark for the 50th anniversary of the coin range.
The Krugerrand is 22-carat gold, and the Natura / Springbok coin is 99.99% gold; however, the Krugerrand is overall heavier so that both coins contain exactly 1.000 oz AGW (Absolute Gold Weight) each. |
