| Additional information |
The silver Krugerrand was a long time coming. The gold original debuted in 1967 specifically to market South African gold to private investors at a time when Americans were legally barred from owning gold bullion — a restriction that lasted until 1975. Silver and platinum variants weren't introduced until 2017, marking the gold coin's 50th anniversary, decades after competitors like the Silver Eagle and Britannia had established the bullion silver market.
The 2 oz format sits above the standard 1 oz issue and was added to give larger-position buyers a single-coin alternative to multiples. Fineness is .999 rather than the gold coin's .9167, which contains copper by design.
