South African Silver Krugerrands
The African Silver Krugerrand represents a version of the iconic gold coin introduced over a half-century ago, in 1967. The silver bullion edition was launched in 2017 to commemorate the original gold Krugerrand’s 50th anniversary. Crafted in 1 ounce of .999 silver and showcasing a classic design similar to its gold version, the obverse is an image of the late South African political leader Paul Kruger. The reverse features a springbok antelope, the national animal of South Africa. With its past and sophisticated aesthetics, the silver Krugerrand appeals to both investors and collectors looking to own a slice of South Africa’s mining and precious metals minting legacy.
