Krugerrand Heritage in .999 Fine Silver
Introduced in 2017 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the gold Krugerrand, the Silver Krugerrand delivers the iconic South African design in investment-grade .999 fine silver.
Obverse: Features Stephanus Johannes Paulus Kruger, the first President of the South African Republic, engraved by Otto Schultz. The inscriptions "SUID-AFRIKA SOUTH AFRICA" flank his portrait.
Reverse: The graceful springbok antelope designed by Coert Steynberg, bounding across the South African veld beneath the inscriptions "KRUGERRAND," the coin's year, weight "FYNSILWER 1 OZ FINE SILVER," and metal purity.
The Silver Krugerrand retains the classic reeded edge that has made its gold counterpart a global standard for more than five decades — fully intact regardless of surface condition.
