Design of 1 troy oz Silver Krugerrand 2026

The Silver Krugerrand was first struck in 2017 by the South African Mint, exactly 50 years after the introduction of the famous gold version in 1967. Each coin contains 31.1 grams (1 troy ounce) of 99.9% pure silver.

The obverse features a portrait of Paul Kruger, the former South African president who played a significant role during the Boer Wars against the British Empire. The inscriptions read “South Africa” and “Suid-Afrika” in English and Afrikaans. The reverse side displays South Africa’s national symbol — the springbok antelope — along with the year of issue and the weight: 1 troy ounce fine silver. The coin has a reeded edge. The portrait of Paul Kruger was designed by Otto Schulz, and the reverse design by Coert Steynberg.

The special anti-counterfeiting feature can only be observed by loop and is visible on the obverse of the Krugerrand 2026 silver coin. It is located just on the left of the hind legs of the springbok antilope. There, in the mountainous background the text "Krugerrand" is micro engraved, so small it is almost not visible with the naked eye. These features quanrantee the authenticity of the silver bullion coin. 

The name “Krugerrand” combines “Kruger” and “rand,” the South African currency. The word “rand” is derived from “Witwatersrand,” a region in the former Transvaal province rich in gold and silver deposits. Much of the silver used to mint Krugerrand coins originates from this area.

The coin has a nominal face value of 1 South African rand, but its true value is determined by the silver price. The detailed engraving of both Paul Kruger and the springbok makes counterfeiting virtually impossible.
