It should have its weight in ounces stated as part of the design. Gold currently sells for about $1000 per ounce, so just do any necessary division to find the value of your coin if it weighs less than an ounce.
Check the financial section of the newspaper or a site such as CNNMoney.com for the latest price of gold. Because Krugerrands don't have to be assayed you should be able to get something near that amount for your coin.
You are asking about a 1 Rand coin from South Africa dated 1979. There were two 1 Rand coins produced in 1979.
KM#88 is made of 80% Silver and weighs 15 grams, giving it an ASW (Actual Silver Weight) of 0.3858 troy ounces. The obverse has a coat of arms with "South Africa" to the right, "Suid-Afrika" (Afrikaans for "South Africa") to the left, and the date below. The reverse has an image of a Springbok (an antelope) leaping over the denomination "1 Rand", and the words "Soli Deo Gloria" (Latin for "Glory Only to God") to the left. This coin was only produced in Proof condition in 1979 - each of the 15,000 examples produced are valued, according to the Standard Catalog of World Coins, at US$9. With silver at US$30.40 (as of January 1, 2012), however, this coin has a "melt value" of US$11.73.
KM#104 is is made of Nickel, is 31mm in diameter, and weighs 12 grams. It is otherwise identical to KM#88, except that instead of a coat of arms, there is a portrait of President Diederichs, 13,466,000 such coins were produced in 1979, and according to the Standard Catalog of World Coins an example is valued at US$2 in Very Fine condition, US$4 in Extremely Fine condition, and US$10 in Uncirculated condition. Another 5 were produced in Proof and are valued at US$2,000 each.
Note that KM#88a, a coin identical to KM#88 in appearance, but with the size and measurements of KM#104, was produced in both 1978 and 1980 (as well as 1981, 1983, 1984, 1986, 1987, 1988 and 1989)
