Obverse

Based on an 1892 coin die, the obverse of 2020 South African Krugerrand 1/4 oz Gold Coins depicts Paul Kruger in left-profile relief. This portrait was created in 1967 by Otto Schultz for the coin series, but was inspired by a portrait of Kruger completed back in 1892 on a die that was to be used to strike South African Pound denominations for circulation.

Reverse

The only living member of its genus, the Springbok antelope is the national animal of South Africa and features on the reverse of all 2020 South African Krugerrand Gold Coins. In this design, the antelope is featured on the dry grasslands of southern Africa as it elegantly moves along.

History

With the Krugerrand gold coins representing 90% of the gold bullion coin market in 1980, the South African Mint opted to introduce three fractional-ounce versions of the coin. The 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz coins were introduced in that same year. Not only was the 1 oz version of the coin the first of its kind when introduced in 1967, but the fractional-ounce coins also became the first of their kind when introduced in 1980.
