Each 1982 1 oz South African Gold Krugerrand Coin available here comes with a protective plastic flip. The coins come from one of the final mintages to surpass 2 million coins in a given year. Demand for the Krugerrands would slip in the years to come as biting economic sanctions made it harder for South Africa to sell the coins around the world.

The highest mintage date in the history of the South African Gold Krugerrand Series is the 1978 coin. Just over a decade after the release of the series, the Gold Krugerrand hit an all-time high of more than 6 million coins.

Paul Kruger is depicted on the obverse side of 1982 Gold Krugerrands. The Krugerrand coinage was introduced years after South African gained its full independence and decimalized its currency. The official gold bullion series was named the Krugerrand by combining Kruger’s last name with the denomination of Rand.

In the reverse of all 1 oz South African Gold Krugerrand Coins, there is a depiction of the Springbok antelope. This medium-sized antelope is capable of something no other species of antelope can achieve. While running, the springbok will engage in “pronking.”
