The 2019 2 oz Silver South Africa Krugerrand Proof edition maintains the stunning design elegance of the gold. The design was originally sourced from an 1892 portrait prepared for the Kruger years of the South Africa Pound denomination coins. The left-facing portrait depicts Kruger as he served his country with distinction as Statesman and President. The pose captures both his strong, resolute bearing, as well as his somewhat iconic beard style. Arched above the portrait are the inscriptions SUID-AFRIKA. Tightly encircling the rim are finely engraved serrations that add to the elegance of the overall design. The Graceful Iconic Springbok. His subject was the iconic Springbok, a medium-sized antelope, which is common in southern and southwestern Africa. This sleek animal is depicted gracefully pronking , where it leaps up to six feet in the air as it makes its way through the grasses of the dry savanna. There could not have been a more appropriate subject selected to grace the obverse of the Krugerrand than that of this beautiful animal. The inscriptions include “KRUGERRAND” arched above the springbok, and FYNSILWER. R1 at the bottom. The release date is split on either side of the springbok. “20” to the left and “20” to the right. As with the obverse, a band of fine serrations tightly encircle the rim. In many ways the history of the Krugerrand is a story of firsts. The gold Krugerrand was introduced in 1967 as the first modern gold bullion coin. It was immediately received amidst much praise for its beauty, fineness, and style. The Krugerrand was also the first 1 oz gold coin produced in the world. Interestingly, the gold Krugerrand is the only legal tender government-issued bullion coin that does not declare a set face value. The Krugerrand also continues to maintain the first position among its peers as the most recognized bullion gold coin brand world-wide. For 50 years its design has proudly displayed the powerful portrait of South Africa’s first president, Paul Kruger. The graceful, bounding springbok antelope provides an iconic South African nature scene.
