Krugerrand Legacy: a Gold Standard on Silver Bullion

The Krugerrand has a story that started on July 3, 1967 when the South African Mint and Rand Refinery were introduced to the world as the pioneer of the modern gold bullion coins in the world. The Gold Krugerrand came to be designed to sell the immense South African gold reserves and give a medium through which people could own gold privately. It was a revolutionary success and by 1980 it controlled an incredible 90% world market of gold coins.

The Krugerrand name had been the undisputed gold standard for 50 years. To honor the coin's 50th anniversary, in 2017 the South African Mint issued the first ever silver Krugerrand.

Initially a high-end commemorative issue, its sheer fame resulted in the release of the standard bullion version in 2018. Investors who longed to get the most trusted bullion brand in the world at an affordable price did this as a direct reaction to the huge world demand, but low-expense, .999 fine silver and now the heritage of trust of the Krugerrand was available to many more markets.

Investment-Grade Silver: The Value of the Silver Krugerrand Coin

Silver Krugerrand 1 oz is one of the best bets investors can make to incorporate physical silver in their portfolios. Every coin weighs 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver and so it fits in the same investment category as other large sovereign coins such as the American Silver Eagle and the Canadian Silver Maple. It’s a legal tender face value of 1 Rand (R1) that gives the government assurance on its mass and purity.

The main investment worth of the Silver Krugerrand is that it has universal recognition. The Krugerrand brand is more than 50 years old; it has been actively traded and has a deep and liquid secondary market. This liquidity is also global, allowing investors to easily sell and purchase their coins worldwide at precious metal dealers. Furthermore, the Silver Krugerrand 1 oz can be included in a Precious Metals IRA, serving as a strong instrument to diversify retirement funds with a tangible asset.

Memorial Design and Testable Quality

What has made the Krugerrand so popular is the classic and stable design of the coin, which has been the symbol of stability and consistency. Each silver Krugerrand coin is manufactured via a cooperative partnership between the South African Mint and the Rand Refinery, which is the biggest, integrated single-site precious metals refining facility in the world.

Obverse: The obverse side has the glorious portrait of Paul Kruger, the first president of the South African Republic. Otto Schultz designed this portrait. The inscriptions about the portrait include “SUID-AFRIKA” and “SOUTH AFRICA”.

The backside also puts the inscriptions, “KRUGERRAND”, a year in which it was released, and the amount and kind of metal used: “FYNSILWER 1 OZ FINE SILVER R1”.
