Krugerrand 1981 Proof Prestige Set 4 coins gold

This is the 1981 Krugerrand Prestige Set in Proof/PP (Polished Plate) mint quality, consisting of 4 gold coins from 1 oz to 1/10 oz.

The set completes a beautiful wooden box.

Officially, these prestige sets were issued only from 1986, so this compilation of all 4 coins from 1981 is special, and very rare to find on the market.

Front of the Krugerrand coins:

The obverse of the Krugerrand gold coin features the world-famous portrait of Paul Kruger, after whom the series of Krugerrand coins was named. Paul Kruger, then President of South Africa (1883 to 1902), founded the mint from which the South African Mint emerged. On the edge of the coin was stamped the country of issue in English and Afrikaans.

Back of the Krugerrand coins:

The reverse of the Krugerrand gold coin features a springbok motif with a stylized South African steppe landscape in the background. Likewise, the coin’s fine weight, fineness, and precious metal are shown on the obverse of the coin.
