2022 1oz Silver Krugerrand 

Product Overview

The 2022 Silver Krugerrand continues the modern expansion of the Krugerrand program into silver bullion, first introduced in 2017. This coin is minted in .999 fine silver and carries the classic Krugerrand design. It offers collectors and investors a globally recognised brand in silver form. Unlike many novelty rounds, the Silver Krugerrand is backed by the credibility of the South African Mint, sharing its historic gold counterpart’s visual identity.
