1/4 oz Gold Krugerrand

The 1/4 oz Gold Krugerrand is a fractional version of the world-renowned South African bullion coin, offering the same iconic design and gold purity in a more budget-friendly size. Introduced in 1980 alongside the 1/2 oz and 1/10 oz versions, this coin makes gold ownership more accessible to collectors and investors alike.

Historical Insight:

The introduction of fractional Krugerrands in 1980 followed overwhelming demand for more accessible gold investment options. As with the 1 oz Krugerrand, these smaller denominations are not assigned a face value, as their worth is based solely on their gold content and market value. Highly liquid and globally recognized, the 1/4 oz Gold Krugerrand is ideal for those looking to diversify their holdings, give a meaningful gift, or accumulate fractional gold over time.

Struck by the South African Mint, the 1/4 oz Krugerrand contains 0.25 troy ounces of gold and is minted in 22-karat gold (91.67% purity), alloyed with copper for enhanced durability and a unique reddish hue.
