The South African fractional Gold Krugerrand coins were introduced in 1980, eleven years after the original one-ounce Krugerrand debuted in 1969. These smaller denominations, including 1/2 ounce, 1/4 ounce, and 1/10 ounce coins, were created to make gold ownership more accessible to everyday investors with smaller budgets. Now, 1985 1/4 oz South African Gold Krugerrand Coins are available online at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The obverse side of 1985 1/4 oz Gold Krugerrand Coins comes with an iconic portrait of Paul Kruger. This portrait was originally developed during the 1890s for the gold coins of the South African Pound, during Kruger’s term as President of the South African Republic. He was so beloved that he was often known as Oom Paul in Afrikaans, or Uncle Paul, in English.
On the reverse of 1985 South African Gold Krugerrands, you will find a depiction of the Springbok antelope. The official emblem of the modern Republic of South Africa, the Springbok is native to the southern nations of the African continent and first featured on South African coins as early as the 1930s.
The introduction of fractional Krugerrands coincided with international economic sanctions against South Africa due to apartheid, which complicated their distribution in many Western markets. Despite these political challenges, the fractional Krugerrands helped cement the Krugerrand’s status as the world’s most recognized gold bullion coin before competitors like the Canadian Maple Leaf and American Eagle emerged.
These 1985 1/4 oz South African Gold Krugerrand Coins are available here in protective plastic flips. The Gold Krugerrand has maintained the same designs across all weights in the series, covering more than half a century of bullion coin production following the 1967 debut of the 1 oz version of the coin.
