The South African Krugerrand is a respected name in the world of gold bullion. Introduced as the first modern gold bullion coin, it celebrates South African culture and has remained popular among investors and collectors. Right now, 1980 South African Krugerrand 1/10 oz Gold Coins are available from Provident Metals.
Highlights:
Each 1980 South African Krugerrand 1/10 oz Gold Coin comes packaged in a plastic flip for protection. Initially, the Krugerrand was only produced as a 1 oz gold coin. In 1980, the South African Mint added fractional-ounce options to the lineup, including this 1/10 oz size, making gold more accessible for a variety of buyers.
Obverse
The obverse side of the 1980 South African Krugerrand Gold Coin includes a left-profile portrait of Paul Kruger, an iconic figure in South Africas history. This design originally appeared on the South African Pound in the 1890s. Inscriptions include SUID-AFRIKA and SOUTH AFRICA.
Reverse
On the reverse of the 1980 Krugerrand 1/10 oz Gold Coin is the image of the Springbok antelope, a symbol of South Africa. The Springbok is shown mid-leap, a graceful pose that reflects the energy and spirit of this native creature. The inscriptions here include 1/10 KRUGERRAND, 1980, and FYNGOUD 1/10 OZ FINE GOLD.
History
The 1980s were a challenging time for the Krugerrand as international sanctions on South Africas apartheid government led many Western nations to ban its import. Despite these bans, the Krugerrands established reputation helped it remain a preferred choice for many. Once apartheid ended in the early 1990s, the Krugerrand reentered the global market, facing a more competitive bullion landscape.
