Each 1982 1/10 oz South African Gold Krugerrand Coin is securely packaged in a plastic flip. Originally, only a 1 oz gold Krugerrand was offered between 1967 and 1979, but in 1980, the South African Mint introduced fractional-ounce coins. These included the 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz sizes, giving buyers more options within the popular series.

The Krugerrand’s 22-karat gold alloy, made up of 91.67% gold and 8.33% copper, is unique. This blend offers exactly one troy ounce of pure gold in a harder, more durable form, thanks to the copper alloy. This composition also gives the coin its distinct orange-gold appearance, which has become a hallmark of the Krugerrand and inspired many other gold bullion coins.

On the obverse side of the 1982 South African Gold Krugerrand, you’ll find a left-facing portrait of Paul Kruger, designed in the late 19th century for the South African Pound.

The reverse of the 1982 1/10 oz Gold Krugerrand features an image of the Springbok antelope, a symbol of South Africa. The antelope is shown mid-leap, in a pose known as pronking, which reflects its natural grace and agility.
