The leap that began in 1967.
You are looking at the side with the springbok.
Gold for the hands of ordinary people.
In the late 1960s, around three quarters of the western world’s gold came from South Africa. The Chamber of Mines wanted ordinary people, too, to be able to own gold.
With the Krugerrand, a new kind of coin came into being for this purpose: exactly one ounce of fine gold, with no face value struck on it. Its value was meant to come directly from the gold it contains.
6,012,293
Krugerrand bullion coins were issued in 1978 alone, 187 tonnes of gold in all.
A leap through history
1886
Gold on the Witwatersrand
On the Witwatersrand, the ridge of white water, rich gold deposits are discovered. South Africa’s currency is also named after it: the rand.
1947
The springbok
The sculptor Coert Steynberg draws his springbok in 1946 and 1947. It first appears in 1947 on the 5-shilling coin marking the visit of the British royal family.
1967
The first Krugerrand
On 3 July, commissioned by the South African Reserve Bank and the Chamber of Mines, the South African Mint strikes the first Krugerrand.
1980
Smaller sizes
The half ounce, the quarter ounce and the tenth ounce are added so that smaller sums can also be invested in gold.
2017
Fifty years
For the anniversary, the first silver Krugerrand appears, along with the 1/20 and 1/50 ounce in gold. For these coins, the designers go back to the original wax models and designs.
The motif
The springbok and the president
- The springbok
- South Africa’s national animal in mid-leap. The springbok owes its name to its characteristic leaps. It was designed by the sculptor Coert Steynberg.
- The aloe
- The motif includes an Aloe claviflora, one of South Africa’s best-known aloes. It grows in the dry interior of the country, where the springbok is also at home.
- Fynsilwer
- Below the springbok is the weight in fine silver, framed by FYNSILWER in Afrikaans and FINE SILVER in English. Fynsilwer means fine silver.
- Paul Kruger
- The other side shows Paul Kruger in profile. In 1883 he became president of the South African Republic, also known as the Transvaal. The portrait was created by the die engraver Otto Schultz. According to the South African Mint, it goes back to the Kruger half-crown of 1892.
- The name
- Krugerrand combines the name Kruger with the rand, South Africa’s currency.
The silver
Fine silver with a face value
The silver Krugerrand is struck in fine silver, with a fineness of 999 parts per thousand. Unlike the gold coin, it bears a face value in rand: R1 on the one-ounce coin, R2 and R5 on the larger coins.
The South African Mint produces the bullion coins together with the Rand Refinery. The silver bullion coin has existed since 2018. It has no fixed mintage: as many are struck as the market demands.
The same leap since 1967.
This issue too.
By its 50th anniversary in 2017, more than 60 million Krugerrands had been sold. The 2022 issue is part of this story, and the story goes on, in your hand and perhaps one day in the hand of someone you pass it on to.
500 coins, each with 31.1 g of fine silver.

The Coins and Their History
The Silver Krugerrand coins were first produced in 2017, to mark the 50th anniversary of the Gold Krugerrand. The Gold Krugerrand was first produced in 1967 and remains one of the most well-known bullion coins worldwide to this day. The coins are official legal tender in South Africa and therefore bear the inscription R1, which stands for 1 Rand, the currency unit of South Africa.
The Masterbox: Security and Compactness
Larger quantities of coins are typically delivered in so-called masterboxes. These boxes, supplied by the manufacturer specifically for transport, offer a compact storage solution for a large number of coins. They represent a secure and space-saving way to store your valuable bullion coins.
Why Invest in Silver?
Silver has long established itself as a safe and stable store of value. Silver coins offer portfolio diversification, as they can exhibit lower correlation to other asset classes such as stocks and bonds. They serve as protection against inflation, as they tend to rise in value when inflation increases. Furthermore, silver is durable and retains its physical properties over time. It has intrinsic value due to its industrial applications and is traded worldwide as a commodity.
Conclusion
The 500 x 1 oz Silver Krugerrand 2022 (Masterbox) offers investors and collectors an excellent opportunity to invest in a precious metal with stable value while simultaneously building an impressive coin collection. With its high fineness, appealing design, and secure packaging, this masterbox is an excellent choice for anyone looking to invest in silver.
