The South African Mint and Rand Refinery issued the first-ever South African Krugerrand Silver Coin in 2017. Prior to the release of this coin, the series featured only the widely popular gold bullion versions of the coin in 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/10 oz, and 1/20 oz weights. Today, you have the opportunity to get South African Krugerrand 1 oz Silver Coins online at Provident Metals.
Highlights:
South African Krugerrand Silver Coins have been available on an annual basis since 2017. The 2017 release of the coins was a Premium Uncirculated coin with a maximum mintage of one million coins. Due to the popularity of the 2017 release, the South African Mint made the new Krugerrand Silver Coin an annual option in Brilliant Uncirculated condition.
Obverse
A left-profile bust of Paul Kruger is depicted on the obverse side of the South African Krugerrand 1 oz Silver Coins. The former president of the South African Republic in the late 19th century, Kruger was previously a leader as part of a triumvirate that governed South Africa. Kruger remains so popular in South African history that his name was combined with the national currency, the Rand, to form the Krugerrand naming for the bullion series. The inscriptions on this face of the coin include Suid-Afrika and South Africa.
Reverse
In the reverse field of the South African Krugerrand 1 oz Silver Coin is a depiction of the Springbok antelope. The national emblem of the Republic of South Africa, the Springbok antelope is native to the southern plains of the African continent. Inscriptions on this side of the coin read Krugerrand, Fynsilwer 1 oz Fine Silver R1, and include a date mark.
History
The designs on the South African Krugerrand coinage were last modified by the South African Mint in 1984. The designs were created by Otto Schultz and Coert Steynberg. The South African Krugerrand Silver Coin is different than its gold counterparts in one major way. The silver coins have a face value assigned and marked on the coins. That value is 1 Rand.
