The 1981 1/4 oz South African Gold Krugerrand Coin is individually packaged in a protective flip to ensure it arrives in excellent condition. The fractional-ounce coins, introduced in 1980, included 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz gold options. All Krugerrand coins are made from 22-karat gold, consisting of 91.67% gold and 8.33% copper, which gives them a rich, golden hue.
Obverse
On the obverse of the 1981 South African Gold Krugerrand Coin, you will find the classic portrait of Paul Kruger. This design, created by Otto Schultz, was first introduced on South African Pound coins and has since become the central feature of Krugerrand coins.
Reverse
The reverse of the 1981 1/4 Gold Krugerrand Coins showcases a depiction of the Springbok antelope, mid-stride and in right-profile relief. As a symbol of South Africas wildlife, the Springbok highlights the countrys natural beauty and the importance of its diverse wildlife.
History
The Krugerrand design traces its origins back to the late 1800s. Otto Schultz created a portrait of Paul Kruger in 1892 for the South African pound, featuring the then-president of the South African Republic. This iconic profile, complete with Kruger’s trademark beard, became the basis for Krugers portrayal on South African currency, including the Gold Krugerrand series.
