South Africa began minting fractional Krugerrand Gold coins in 1980 to help buyers of limited means obtain Gold at an affordable price. Each of these South African Krugerrands will be in Brilliant Uncirculated condition.
The coin’s obverse, designed by Otto Schultz, bears the face of Boer statesman Paul Kruger, four-term president of the old South African Republic with the inscription reading “Suid-Afrika South Africa.”
The coin’s reverse, designed by Coert Steynberg depicts a springbok, one of the national symbols of South Africa with the inscription reading “Fyngoud 1/4 oz Fine Gold” as well as the year of production.
