The South African Krugerrand is recognized worldwide as one of the premier gold bullion coin series. With its long-standing reputation as the first modern bullion coin, the Krugerrand has a rich history and consistent design that pays homage to South African heritage. Right now, 1981 1/10 oz South African Gold Krugerrand Coins are available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The obverse of the 1981 Gold Krugerrand Coin presents a left-facing portrait of Paul Kruger, an image crafted in the late 19th century. This image first appeared in the 1890s on gold coins in the South African pound denomination.
The reverse of 1981 South African Gold Krugerrands highlights a detailed engraving of the Springbok antelope, a South African symbol shown pronking—an iconic stance where the animal gracefully leaps while in motion.
Stephanus Johannes Paulus Kruger, commonly known as Paul Kruger or “Oom Paul” (Uncle Paul), served as the president of the South African Republic (Transvaal) from 1883 to 1900. Born in 1825 to Afrikaner parents in the Cape Colony, Kruger rose from humble beginnings as a frontiersman and farmer to become one of the most influential figures in South African history.
These 1981 1/10 oz South African Gold Krugerrand Coins are offered in a plastic flip for protection. The Krugerrand was initially only available as a 1 oz coin from its debut in 1967 until 1979. Starting in 1980, the South African Mint expanded the series by introducing fractional-ounce options, including this 1/10 oz coin.
