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.
