In spite of high demand from collectors, a silver version of the coin was not released until 2017, the gold coin’s 50th anniversary. The first Brilliant Uncirculated bullion Silver Krugerrand was issued a year later, and today is a highly anticipated annual release!

Grading information comes on a Springbok label.
This piece has been set in a sleek black core holder.
Featuring the Exquisite Springbok Antelope Design of Coert Steynberg
Obverse: Otto Schultz designed the obverse, which features a left-side portrait of Paul Kruger. Kruger was a central figure in the country’s politics and was the third President of the South African Republic. He is joined by a pair of rim inscriptions, “SUID-AFRIKA” and “SOUTH AFRICA,” the name of the issuing country in Afrikaans and English.
Reverse: Coert Steynberg’s reverse design features a springbok antelope, the country’s national symbol. It bounds across the plains of South Africa. Split to either side of it are the first and last two numerals of the date, “2021.” “KRUGERRAND,” the name of the coin, arches over the image, while the coin’s metal content, “FYNSILWER 1 OZ FINE SILVER,” and face value, “R1,” are noted on the rim below.
