Each of these 1981 South African Krugerrand 1/10 oz Gold Coins is packaged in a plastic flip for protection. Originally available only in a 1 oz size since 1967, the Krugerrand series introduced fractional-ounce options in 1980, allowing for more choices within this prestigious series.

Obverse

The obverse of the 1981 South African Krugerrand Gold Coin features a left-facing portrait of Paul Kruger, a design originally created in the 1890s. This image of Kruger has appeared on South African currency for more than a century, symbolizing the enduring legacy of this national leader. Inscriptions read SUID-AFRIKA and SOUTH AFRICA.

Reverse

On the reverse, the 1981 Krugerrand 1/10 oz Gold Coin displays a finely detailed Springbok antelope, a national symbol of South Africa. The Springbok is shown in a pronking position, a leap that represents its grace and agility. The inscriptions here read 1/10 KRUGERRAND, 1981, FYNGOUD, and 1/10 OZ FINE GOLD.

History

Paul Kruger, often called “Oom Paul” or Uncle Paul, served as president of the South African Republic from 1883 to 1900. Born in the Cape Colony in 1825, Kruger grew up as a frontiersman and farmer, eventually rising to become a prominent leader in South African history.
