Now, More than 50 Years After the Introduction of the Gold Coin, the South African Mint is Releasing the Krugerrand in Pure Silver

8:13 AM


The silver Krugerrand shares much of the iconic design of the gold coins. The obverse, or front, of the coin carries the image of Paul Kruger. He rose to international prominence in the Second Boer War as South Africans of Dutch descent fought against British influence. He served as president of the South African Republic from 1883 - 1902. The coin denomination is displayed as 1 rand.

The coin's reverse, or back, features the Springbok antelope bounding across a South African plain. The Springbok is a national symbol. The species is common in southern African nations with a large population in South Africa. Along with the image is text outlining the date of issue and the weight and purity - 1 oz fine silver.
