The 1/10 oz Gold Krugerrand is the smallest fractional denomination of South Africa's iconic gold bullion series. First introduced in 1980, this coin provides an affordable and highly liquid entry point into the gold market while preserving the classic design and historical legacy of the Krugerrand.
Historical Insight:
The Krugerrand was the world's first modern gold bullion coin, debuting in 1967 to promote private gold ownership. In 1980, the 1/10 oz version was introduced alongside the 1/2 oz and 1/4 oz coins to offer greater flexibility for investors. Due to its small size, global recognition, and historical pedigree, the 1/10 oz Gold Krugerrand is a popular choice for stacking, gifting, or portfolio diversification on a fractional level.
Struck by the South African Mint, each coin contains 0.10 troy ounces of gold in 22-karat purity (.9167 fine), alloyed with copper for increased durability and a distinctive golden-orange hue.
