The 1984 1 oz South African Gold Krugerrand Coin has been struck in fine gold. This coin was manufactured and distributed by the South African Mint and features detailed imagery on both the obverse and reverse sides. This coin does not hold any monetary value, mainly because the legal tender denomination of the coin is based on the fluctuating price of gold, rather than a fixed price like other circulated gold coins.

First introduced in 1967, the South African Krugerrand coin remains tremendously popular around the world. The South African Mint has always been known for releasing wonderful gold bullion products. This particular release happened in 1967 for the purpose of marketing and showing off South African gold around the world. The term “Krugerrand” combines the last name of Paul Kruger, along with “rand” which is the currency of South Africa.

The obverse of the 1984 1 oz South African Gold Krugerrand Coin shows the portrait of Paul Kruger, who was the first president of South Africa. He was also the only president of the country and is known for establishing the South African Mint in 1892. At the time, Kruger established the Mint in an attempt to address South Africa’s coin shortage. He also wanted to make sure the country had the ability to produce its own currency.

On the reverse of the 1984 1 oz South African Gold Krugerrand Coin is the image of the Springbok antelope, which is the national animal of South Africa. This coin shows the antelope prancing along. The reverse also shows the weight, purity, and release year of the coin, as well as the “KRUGERRAND” inscription above the antelope.
