Understanding the Silver Krugerrand
The Silver Krugerrand is the silver version of the world’s most famous bullion coin, first released in 2017 to mark the 50th anniversary of the original gold Krugerrand. Struck in 999 fine silver, it carries the same iconic design that made the Krugerrand a household name, now available to silver investors.
Key features of the Silver Krugerrand:
- 999 fine silver, one full troy ounce
- The silver version of the world’s first modern bullion coin
- Produced by Rand Refinery and the South African Mint
- Struck in a 1 oz format
- Globally recognised and highly liquid
The design mirrors the legendary gold Krugerrand: Paul Kruger, the 19th-century Transvaal president, on the obverse, and Coert Steynberg’s springbok antelope on the reverse — one of the most recognised motifs in all of bullion.
