South African Krugerrand coins have been a staple of the precious metals industry for more than half a century. In 1967, the Gold Krugerrand became the first-ever 1 oz gold bullion coin struck for private investors to purchase. After 50 years as a gold bullion series only, the South African Mint expanded the series in 2017 to include silver coins for sale.
The South African Mints first release of a Silver Krugerrand came in 2017. The mint celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Gold Krugerrand in style that year issuing what it called a Premium Uncirculated Silver Krugerrand with a mintage of 1 million coins and a 1 oz proof silver version as well. The mint even offered a Platinum Krugerrand that year.
The obverse of all 2023 1 oz South African Silver Krugerrand Coins features the effigy of Paul Kruger. The first elected President of the South African Republic, Kruger had previously served in the Boer armies during the Boer Wars and then participated as a leader in the triumvirate that governed South Africa before the formation of the new republic.
On the reverse face of 2023 South African Silver Krugerrand Coins is the image of a Springbok antelope. This medium-sized antelope is the lone member of its genus and can be found primarily in southern and southwestern Africa.
All 2023 South African Silver Krugerrands are produced by the South African Mint and the Rand Refinery. The mint is owned by the South African Reserve Bank and produces bullion coins and circulation Rand currency for the nation.
