2017 1 oz South Africa Krugerrand 999 Silver Coin PU

First issued in 1967, the South African Gold Krugerrand was the world's first modern gold bullion coin. Its name comes from the man depicted on the coin, President Paul Kruger, and the Rand, a South African monetary unit. As soon as it was issued, it was instantly sought after by collectors all over the world. This demand led many other countries to strike their own gold coins, including the popular U.S. Gold Eagles and Canadian Gold Maple Leafs. However, the Krugerrand is somewhat unique in that it has been proclaimed as legal tender despite having no face value!

Now, to make the 50th anniversary of the "Granddaddy of Gold", South Africa has authorized a limited first-ever issue of Silver Krugerrands! Each Silver Krugerrand is official legal tender, struck in a full ounce of 99.9% pure silver. They bear the same design as the original, with one exception: the special 50th anniversary privy mark!

• First ever Silver Krugerrand Coin
• Limited Mintage of 1,000,000
• Contains 1 troy Oz .999 Silver
• Observe : South African Springbok
• Reverse : a portrait Paul Kruger, the former president of South Africa
