Each of the 2018 1 oz South African Silver Krugerrand Coins available to you in this product listing comes with a protective plastic slab courtesy of the NGC. The Mint State 69 certification is for coins with a near-perfect condition. MS69 coins have full, original mint luster and a maximum of two minor detracting flaws. These flaws are limited in nature to minuscule contact marks or hairlines found only outside the primary focal areas of the coin.

The included First Day of Issue label from the NGC indicates the arrival of the coins for certification with the NGC. Coins that earn the First Day label arrived at the NGC within 24 hours of their initial release from the South African Mint.

Silver Krugerrand coins first debuted in 2017, but those were commemorative coins issued by the South African Mint to mark the 50th anniversary of the Gold Krugerrand coin. These initial Silver Krugerrand coins were available with limited mintage figures and a Premium Uncirculated condition.

On the obverse of the 2018 1 oz South African Silver Krugerrand Coin is the image of Paul Krugerrand. The final man to serve as President of the South African Republic, Kruger was an influential Boer figure during the late 19th century.

The reverse face of the 2018 South African Silver Krugerrand Coin features the nation’s official symbol. The Springbok antelope is the nation’s symbol and is commonly found not only in the nation of South Africa, but throughout the southern reaches of the African continent.
