Each 1982 1/4 oz South African Gold Krugerrand Coin comes packaged in a protective plastic flip for safe handling. Since the first 1 oz Krugerrand was introduced in 1967, the design has remained consistent across all sizes. These coins are made from 22-karat gold, combining 91.67% gold with 8.33% copper for added strength.

Fractional Gold Krugerrands kept the same well-known images found on the original full-ounce version. Paul Kruger appears on the obverse, and the Springbok antelope stands out on the reverse. These smaller options helped more people invest in gold during a time when prices were rising sharply in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

On the obverse of the 1982 Gold Krugerrand, you’ll find a portrait of Paul Kruger. This design was first created in the 1890s for South African gold coins issued during his time as president of the South African Republic. Kruger remains a cherished figure in South African history and was fondly called “Oom Paul,” which translates to “Uncle Paul” in English.

The reverse side of the 1982 1/4 oz Gold Krugerrand shows the Springbok antelope, a well-known symbol of South Africa. Native to southern Africa, the Springbok has appeared on South African coins since the 1930s and represents the country’s natural heritage.
