2025 1 oz South African Silver Krugerrand Coin BU

2025 1 oz South African Silver Krugerrand Coin

Silver Krugerrands were first minted as a commemorative edition of their counterparts, the Gold Krugerrands, which were meant to celebrate the series' 50th anniversary.

Once the South African Mint introduced them, their popularity among collectors and investors turned Silver Krugerrands into an annual edition coin.

Silver Krugerrands incorporate historical elements into their designs. They have legal tender status and a face value fully guaranteed by the South African Mint. With a weight of 1 oz (or 31.10 grams) of 99.9% fine silver, they are a sensible option for those who desire to acquire physical silver bullion to provide diversity to their investment portfolios and safeguard their wealth.

Coin Highlights

• Contains 1 oz of .999 fine silver;
• A commemorative coin that turned into an annual edition;
• Holds legal tender status, with a face value of 1 rand;
• Paul Krugerrand’s effigy stamps the obverse;
• The reverse showcases the Springbok Antelope.

The Design

The obverse portrays Paul Krugerrand, a former president of South Africa and a key figure in the South African independence, noted as the Afrikaner nation's builder. The country’s name in English and Afrikaans flanks the leader’s left-profile bust.

The traditional reverse design displays the Springbok Antelope, a native animal that became a national symbol. The inscription “KRUGERRAND” arches over the animal’s depiction, while “FYNSILWER 1 OZ FINE SILVER R1” regarding metal content, weight, and face value is on the bottom. The year of issuance completes the image.

The Krugerrand Series

The first Krugerrand coin the South African Mint produced was a 22k 1 oz gold one in 1967. It was intended to be South Africa’s official bullion coin. 

For a while, Gold Krugerrand coins were the only gold coins available for private investment, attracting investors, collectors, and other precious metals refineries worldwide.

In 2017, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Gold Krugerrand Coin, the SA Mint premiered a commemorative silver version with the same standard design but a face value of 1 Rand.

The overwhelming success of the Silver Krugerrands secured their place as a permanent addition to the series, with annual issues alongside their gold counterpart.
