The South African Krugerrand is celebrated worldwide as a leading gold bullion coin. Launched as the first modern bullion coin, it has set the standard for global gold investment with its enduring design that commemorates South Africa’s history. Right now, 1980 1/10 oz South African Gold Krugerrand Coins are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 1980 1/10 oz South African Gold Krugerrand Coin arrives in a plastic flip. For the first thirteen years, the Krugerrand was available only in 1 oz form. In 1980, the South African Mint broadened its offerings by adding fractional-ounce sizes, including this inaugural 1/10 oz option.
During the 1980s, the Krugerrand faced significant challenges as many Western nations banned its import as part of economic sanctions against South Africa’s apartheid regime. Despite these restrictions, the coin’s popularity had already established it as a standard in the precious metals market. After the fall of apartheid in the early 1990s, the Krugerrand regained its position in the international market, though in a more competitive environment with numerous other national gold coins.
The obverse of the 1980 South African Gold Krugerrand displays a portrait of Paul Kruger in left-profile, a design originally intended for the South African Pound in the 1890s.
The reverse of the 1980 1/10 oz Gold Krugerrand Coin showcases the Springbok antelope, an emblem of South Africa, shown mid-pronk—an agile, high-leaping movement.
