The South African fractional Gold Krugerrand series made its debut in 1980, eleven years after the original one-ounce Krugerrand first hit the market in 1969. These smaller gold coins—available in 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz weights—were introduced to offer more affordable options for gold buyers working with modest budgets. Today, 1982 1/4 oz South African Gold Krugerrand Coins can be purchased online through JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each of these 1982 1/4 oz South African Gold Krugerrand Coins is presented to buyers in protective plastic flips. The Gold Krugerrand series has preserved its classic designs across all weights, sustaining a legacy of more than 50 years of production since the 1 oz version was first issued in 1967. Gold Krugerrands are 22-karat gold specimens with 91.67% gold and 8.33% copper.
The fractional Krugerrands maintain the same iconic design as their larger counterpart, featuring Paul Kruger’s portrait on the obverse and a springbok antelope on the reverse. These smaller coins were particularly significant as they democratized gold investment at a time when gold prices were soaring in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
The obverse of the 1982 South African Gold Krugerrand carries the familiar effigy of Paul Kruger. This portrait was first designed in the 1890s for use on gold coins issued for the South African Pound during Kruger’s presidency of the South African Republic. Paul Kruger was such a beloved figure among his countrymen that he earned the affectionate nickname “Oom Paul” in Afrikaans, meaning “Uncle Paul” in English.
On the reverse of 1982 1/4 Gold Krugerrand Coins, the image of the Springbok antelope is featured prominently. As the national symbol of the Republic of South Africa, the Springbok is indigenous to the southern regions of Africa and has appeared on South African coinage dating back to the 1930s.
