How much is a 1 oz 1981 Proof Krugerrand worth?
The value of a bullion Krugerrand is closely tied to the price of gold, making it difficult to determine the exact price of a 1981 Proof Krugerrand. However, a reasonable estimate is about 105% of the gold price. It is worth considerably more if it is part of a complete fractional Proof Krugerrand set.
