1/4 oz South African Krugerrand Gold Coin (Random Year)

The 1/4 oz South African Gold Krugerrand offers investors a practical and globally recognized way to own physical gold. First introduced in 1980 as part of the expanding Krugerrand series, this fractional coin allows buyers to enter the gold market at a lower price point than full 1 oz coins. As a result, it remains a popular choice for both new and experienced investors.

Each coin contains 1/4 troy ounce of actual gold content and is struck in 22-karat gold with a purity of .9167. The durable alloy blend strengthens the coin while preserving its full gold weight. The coin measures approximately 22 mm in diameter and 1.89 mm in thickness, and it features a classic reeded edge. The South African Mint produces these coins in partnership with the Rand Refinery. We ship each coin in protective packaging.

A Design Recognized Worldwide

The obverse displays the left-profile portrait of Paul Kruger, South Africa’s first and only president. Otto Schultz originally created this portrait in the 19th century. The inscriptions “Suid-Afrika” and “South Africa” appear above his likeness in Afrikaans and English, reflecting the nation’s heritage.

On the reverse, Coert Steynberg’s iconic springbok antelope moves gracefully across the South African landscape. The design includes the year of minting along with the coin’s gold weight. Together, these elements create one of the most recognizable gold bullion designs in the world.

Historic Bullion with Global Liquidity

The Krugerrand debuted in 1967 as the world’s first modern gold bullion coin available to private investors. From 1967 to 1979, only the 1 oz coin was available. In 1980, the series expanded to include fractional sizes such as the 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz. Since then, the Krugerrand has remained a cornerstone of the global gold market.

This listing features random-year coins selected from available inventory. Dates may vary, and we cannot guarantee a specific year. These coins are offered in circulated condition and may show light signs of handling. However, each coin retains its full gold content and investment value.
