1/10 oz South African Gold Krugerrand Coin - Random Year
The 1/10 oz Gold Krugerrand coin was first minted in 1980 in addition to the ¼ oz and ½ oz renditions.

By the launch of the fractional versions in 1980, the one ounce coin had already captured 90% of the precious metals market.
The name of the coin, Krugerrand, comes from combining the name of the well known South African president, Paul Kruger, as well as the South African currency, the rand.
