Buy South African Silver Coins – The Silver Krugerrand Since 2017

South Africa produces 12 silver products at CelticGold, all from the Silver Krugerrand – one of the most historically significant silver coin launches of the 21st century. For exactly 50 years, Paul Kruger's portrait and the Springbok antelope existed only in gold. The 2017 Silver Krugerrand, struck to mark the golden anniversary of the world's most famous bullion coin, brought this iconic design to silver for the first time.

The Krugerrand Legacy in Silver

The Gold Krugerrand launched on 3 July 1967 and created the entire modern private gold investment market. Its design – Paul Kruger's profile by Coert Steynberg, Springbok antelope reverse – is the most recognised bullion coin image in the world. For 50 years, it existed exclusively in gold. The Silver Krugerrand (2017–present) applies the same iconic design to 999/1,000 fine silver with a face value of 1 Rand as official South African legal tender.

FAQ: Are proof Silver Krugerrands worth more? Yes – proof editions (mirror-polished fields, frosted relief) carry premiums above bullion strikes, particularly for the 2017 inaugural year. The 2017 is the most historically significant year as the very first Silver Krugerrand ever minted.
