1 oz 1981 Krugerrand

The Krugerrand was the world’s first one-ounce gold bullion coin, launched by the South African Mint in 1967 at the request of the Chamber of Mines. It became the model for every modern sovereign bullion program. The 22-karat alloy (91.67 percent gold, 8.33 percent copper) gives the coin its distinctive orange-yellow color and exceptional striking durability — each Krugerrand contains exactly one full troy ounce of pure gold; the alloy adds copper for hardness without diluting metal content. The 1981 issue is current-issue mint state production.

About the South African Mint

The South African Mint operates from Centurion, Gauteng, founded in 1890. It is the official mint of the Republic of South Africa and the issuer of the Krugerrand program since 1967. The Krugerrand is the highest-volume gold bullion coin ever produced, with over 50 million ounces struck since program inception.
