The South African Silver Krugerrand contains one troy ounce of 99.9% pure silver and carries the distinctive design that has made the Krugerrand one of the world's most recognised bullion coins. The obverse features the portrait of Paul Kruger, former President of the South African Republic, while the reverse depicts the Springbok antelope, one of South Africa's national symbols. The design closely follows that of the original Gold Krugerrand, first introduced in 1967. Manufactured by the South African Mint, the Silver Krugerrand combines internationally recognised minting quality with one of the most iconic bullion coin designs in the world.
