The gold Krugerrand is one of the world’s most storied bullion coins. Thanks to the country’s bountiful gold mines, in 1967, the South African Mint produced the first gold bullion Krugerrand coin that was widely available for private ownership and personal investment. The name of the gold coin is a combination of “Kruger,” after State President Paul Kruger of the South African Republic, and “rand,” after the South African unit of currency. Now, 51 years later, the South African Mint and Rand Refinery jointly released the first non-proof silver bullion version of this iconic coin.

In fact, the South African Mint issued its first silver Krugerrand in 2017 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the original Krugerrand coin. However, that commemorative proof coin was primarily aimed at collectors. Only 15,000 of these Premium Uncirculated coins were available for purchase—and they were fairly high-priced. Due to the commemorative issue’s immense popularity, though, the South African Mint decided to produce a bullion silver Krugerrand. This issue is available at a lower premium and presents another option to popular silver bullion coins such as the Maple Leaf, the Philharmonic, or the Kangaroo.
