One of the world's most famous bullion coins is being struck in silver for the first time. The strictly limited edition 2017 Silver Krugerrand commemorates the 50th Anniversary of the first Gold Krugerrand, one of the world's most successful bullion coins.
In 1967, the South African Mint launched the Gold Krugerrand to promote sales of South African gold. The move proved so successful that the Krugerrand quickly became the most popular bullion coin in the world. To honour 50 years of these iconic coins, the South African mint has created a unique opportunity for collectors and investors with the very first Silver Krugerrand.
Named after the famous South African president and conservationist and for the country's currency, the Rand, the Krugerrand is one of the world's most recognisable collector's coins. Now you can enjoy this much-loved bullion coin in silver. The limited edition 2017 Silver Krugerrand is struck from 1 oz of fine .999 silver and, unlike the gold coin, it carries its denomination - 1 Rand. The reverse features the springbok, a national symbol of South Africa, designed by Coert Steynberg while the obverse features a portrait of Paul Kruger.
For 50 years the Gold Krugerrand has captivated the imaginations of the world's collectors. Now, you could be among the few who will own the very first edition of the Silver Krugerrand.
