1/10 oz South African Gold Krugerrand

The 1/10 oz South African Gold Krugerrand Coin is the smallest standard denomination in the Krugerrand bullion series, offering all the trusted hallmarks of the original in a highly compact and accessible form. Introduced in 1980 alongside other fractional sizes, the 1/10 oz Krugerrand brings global recognition, durable construction, and sovereign backing to a form ideal for entry-level collectors or those seeking flexible gold ownership. It is minted by the South African Mint in partnership with the Rand Refinery, continuing a legacy that began with the original 1 oz Krugerrand in 1967.

Key Features:

• Purity: Each 1/10 oz Gold Krugerrand is struck from 91.67% gold (22 karats) and 8.33% copper, with a total gold content of 0.10 troy ounces. The copper alloy strengthens the coin and gives it a distinctive reddish hue, helping it withstand handling and everyday wear.

• Design: The obverse displays a portrait of Paul Kruger, the former President of the South African Republic, surrounded by the inscriptions “SUID-AFRIKA” and “SOUTH AFRICA.” The reverse features the springbok antelope—South Africa’s national animal—along with the coin’s weight, the word “KRUGERRAND,” and the year of issue. This timeless design has remained unchanged for decades and is instantly recognizable worldwide.

• Denomination: As with all Krugerrands, the 1/10 oz version does not carry a numerical face value. It is considered legal tender in South Africa, with its value tied directly to the market price of gold, reinforcing its role as a bullion trade coin.

• Collectability: The 1/10 oz Gold Krugerrand is prized for its affordability, fractional size, and iconic design. It is especially popular among first-time gold buyers, gift-givers, and those looking to acquire small, divisible units of sovereign gold. While most coins trade near bullion value, certain dates or proof versions may carry added premiums. As part of the longest-running modern gold bullion series, the 1/10 oz Krugerrand holds a strong position in both bullion portfolios and world coin collections.

Compact, durable, and instantly recognizable, the 1/10 oz South African Gold Krugerrand is a convenient way to own a piece of bullion history, perfect for building flexibility into any precious metals holding.
