The Krugerrand holds a special place in the history of modern bullion coins. First introduced by South Africa in 1967, it was designed to make gold ownership more accessible to the general public. Unlike most coins, the Krugerrand was valued for its gold weight rather than a face value, helping it stand apart in a time when personal gold ownership was limited in many countries. Today, you can find 1995 1/4 oz South African Gold Krugerrand Coins available at BullionMax.

By the early 1980s, the Krugerrand had taken over a large share of the global gold coin market. Even with international trade challenges, it accounted for the majority of gold coin sales around the world before other mints introduced their own bullion coins. In 1980, South Africa began producing fractional-ounce versions, like this 1/4 oz coin, making gold investment more manageable for everyday buyers.

Each 1995 1/4 oz South African Gold Krugerrand Coin offered here comes in a simple plastic flip. These fractional coins were first introduced 13 years after the full ounce version. They are made from 22-karat gold, which is a mix of 91.67% gold and 8.33% copper. This combination adds strength and gives the coin its warm, reddish tone.

The front of the 1995 Gold Krugerrand features Paul Kruger, the former president of the South African Republic. His portrait faces left and was created by artist Otto Schultz. Around the edge are the words “SUID-AFRIKA” and “SOUTH AFRICA,” written in the two official languages of the country at the time.

The back of the coin shows a springbok antelope, a symbol often associated with South Africa. Sculpted by Coert Steynberg, the antelope is shown leaping gracefully across the grassland. Its distinct horns and movement bring the scene to life, making it a memorable design.
