The legacy of the Krugerrand dates back to 1967 when South Africa debuted the coin as the first modern gold bullion piece aimed explicitly at private gold ownership. At a time when many nations restricted personal holdings of gold, the Krugerrand stood out by being valued in terms of gold weight rather than face value. Today, 1995 1/4 oz South African Gold Krugerrand Coins are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
By the 1980s, the Krugerrand dominated the global gold coin market despite international sanctions against apartheid South Africa, accounting for 90% of the world gold coin market before other nations introduced competing coins. The introduction of fractional Krugerrands in 1980 significantly democratized gold ownership by making precious metal investment accessible to individuals with modest financial resources.
All 1995 1/4 oz South African Gold Krugerrand Coins offered here are presented in an individual plastic flip. The fractional-ounce versions were introduced in 1980, 13 years after the original coin’s launch. These coins are composed of 22-karat gold, combining 91.67% pure gold with 8.33% copper to enhance durability and color.
The obverse of the 1995 South African Gold Krugerrand bears a left-facing portrait of Paul Kruger, designed by Otto Schultz. The inscriptions “SUID-AFRIKA” and “SOUTH AFRICA” encircle the image, representing the nation’s official languages at the time of the coin’s introduction in 1967.
On the reverse side of the 1995 1/4 oz Gold Krugerrand Coin is a springbok antelope captured mid-leap. This elegant design was sculpted by Coert Steynberg and highlights the animal’s curved horns and fluid motion across the plains, an enduring icon of South African wildlife.
