South African
Silver Krugerrand
2017 to Present
In 2017, the South African Mint released a Silver Krugerrand to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the original release of the Gold Krugerrand bullion coin.
Minted in 'Premium Uncirculated' condition, the 2017 Silver Krugerrand had a special privy on the reverse side of the bullion coin celebrating the anniversary.
2017 1oz. Silver Krugerrand Premium Uncirculated Coin
In 2018, after the successful release of the Silver Krugerrand's Anniversary Edition, the South African Mint decided to start minting the Silver Krugerrand, with a purity of .999 fine silver, annually.
2018 1oz. Silver Krugerrand Bullion Coin
You can see the subtle differences between the coins when you compare the 2017 Silver Krugerrand Premium Uncirculated coin with the 2018 Silver Krugerrand bullion coin.
The first difference is the mirror, proof-like surfaces of Paul Kruger and the Springbok Antelope on the Premium Coin, the other being the lack of the Privy Mark on the 2018 bullion coin.

History of the
Gold Krugerrand
The Gold Krugerrand is the World's most circulated gold bullion coin.
The bullion coin gets its name from the popular four-term President of the old Republic of South Africa, Paul Kruger 1883 - 1900 (pictured), and the Rand, the South African currency.
In 1966, the South African Reserve Bank authorized the Rand Refinery Ltd. to manufacture gold blanks and the South African Mint to strike the blanks into Krugerrand gold bullion coins.
South Africa began minting the Gold Krugerrand in 1967.
For the first three years of production, the South African Mint minted only 40,000 of the Gold Krugerrand; the bullion coin wasn't mass produced until 1970.
In the 1970s and 1980s, South Africa's policy of apartheid brought economic sanctions against the country from many Western countries, which made the Krugerrand illegal to import.
In 1994, South Africa's international sanctions were lifted when they abandoned apartheid. The Gold Krugerrand regained its status as one of the world's leading gold bullion coins.
