Quarter Ounce Gold Krugerrand
The Quarter Ounce Gold Krugerrand is a popular and internationally recognised gold bullion coin from South Africa, containing 1/4 troy ounce (7.775 grams) of pure gold. First minted in 1967, the Krugerrand series was created as a convenient way for individuals to own gold, and it remains one of the most trusted coins in the market.
This coin is struck from 22-karat gold, making it highly durable, with a purity of 91.67% gold and the remainder in copper, giving it a distinctive, slightly reddish tint. The obverse side features a portrait of Paul Kruger, the former president of the South African Republic, designed by Otto Schultz. The reverse showcases a springbok antelope, one of South Africa's national symbols, along with the coin’s weight and metal content.
With a diameter of 22.06mm, the Quarter Ounce Gold Krugerrand is a practical choice for investors looking for fractional gold coins. It holds value not only as an investment piece but also as a symbol of South African heritage.
