Superunit[edit]

Where are we getting R 16,500 as the value of a Krugerrand? It looks like you have to put some value in the template, or else it won’t show, but an oz. of gold is a lot more than R 16.5k right now.

But I’m not convinced the Krugerrand is really a superunit of the rand. It’s legal tender, but it has no fixed value and in fact its price is often quoted in dollars. —Wiki Wikardo 07:21, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Depictions of "Jan van Riebeeck"[edit]

It has been common knowledge since about 1985 that the original South African Rand does not, in fact, depict Jan van Riebeeck, but rather Bartholomeus Vermuyden.

Yet other than for a single mention in a single paragraph, the entire article references the depiction of Jan van Riebeeck on the notes.

If there is no objection, I am going to correct all of these mistakes in a few weeks' time. Janneman27 (talk) 05:00, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
