This is the first year the South African Mint has released a premium uncirculated Silver coin. The South African Mint is celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the well known Gold Krugerrand. The Gold Krugerrand was the first Gold bullion coin produced in the world and has been a worldwide standard since 1967. 50 years later, the South African Mint is releasing a long-anticipated Silver version of this iconic design.


The South African Mint is considering these to be Gem Premium Uncirculated due to the quality of the Silver being used and the state of art technology which enhances the detail of the coin.
