The obverse of these South African gold coins features a historic portrait of Boer statesman Paul Kruger, originally engraved by Otto Schultz. The legend in English and Afrikaans reads 'SUID-AFRIKA · SOUTH AFRICA'.
All Krugerrands feature a distinctive reverse centred on the image of a leaping springbok by Coert Steynberg. The date (1980) is divided on either side with 'KRUGERRAND' above and 'FYNGOUD 1OZ FINE GOLD' below.
Struck in 22-carat gold (91.67% purity), each 1980 1oz Krugerrand contains a full troy ounce of fine gold. These coins have a total weight of 33.93 grams and measure 32.77 millimetres from milled edge to milled edge.
Records indicate that 3,061,396 one-ounce Krugerrands were struck by the SA Mint in 1980. These coins were exported globally, seeing high demand, particularly before the release of American Eagles and British Britannias.
Produced by the South African Mint and the Rand Refinery since 1967, Krugerrands are among the world's most popular bullion coins. This historic 1980 one-ounce coin is a key addition to any Krugerrand date run.
