This is the first year the South African Mint has released a Proof Silver coin. The South African Mint is celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the well known Gold Krugerrand. The Gold Krugerrand was the first Gold bullion coin produced in the world and has been a worldwide standard since the third of July 1967. 50 years later, the South African Mint is releasing a long-anticipated Silver version of this iconic design.
The Silver 1 oz proof features unparalleled gloss that highlights the distinctive Krugerrand design, making it an irresistible addition to any collection. Each coin is hand positioned and pressed several times at a lower weight, allowing for immaculate transfer of detail and ensuring a truly beautiful gloss every time.

I was skeptical about getting this coin. I waited until the price had gone up slightly but because of the popularity of the gold coin, I thought I would get the first limited proof silver coin as an investment. Only time will tell if it was a good decision. I have been changing my strategy with silver and purchasing mostly silver bullion and rounds, staying away from the collector coins. When I received this coin, it was secure in the packaging, thank you APMEX. The coin is stunning and I am happy that I made the purchase
- Pros
- Attractive Design

I received 2 of these via different orders. Got them at a great price. Was an interesting purchase, for sure with limited mintage and the Kruggerand name. First silver issue is also an important consideration. These 2 coins were in superb shape and I had no problem with the packaging. As someone noted, APMEX is making sure they are secure. Very very happy with this acquisition.

I bought this coin thinking it would be a proof coin with no large issues. It looks like there is a nice large scratch or finger print on the right side of the head by the A. Not very happy with that. I even made sure the plastic was nice and clean and there is no double reflection that would be a problem with the plastic.

I too had been hearing about the issue with the way the SA Mint is packaging these. APMEX seems to have placed a foam insert in the mint box and mine was nicely secured on arrival. The proof coin looks very nice next to the BU version. Very cool year to be getting krugerrands ;)

This is the first time I buy a Krugerrand coin. I must say, as other clients, that the coin was inside its box from South African Mint but out of the protective capsule. Fortunately the coin was healthy and safe. I am very happy to be the owner of this coin.

I thought my situation was rare when I opened the box to find my coin out of the capsule and loose, very disappointing to spend this kind of money on a coin and have these basic issues. I understand this an issue of the mints and not APMEX.

I have the same complaint that almost everyone else has. I bought 5 of these proof coins and all 5 arrived loose and outside of the protective capsule. This is the South African Mint's packaging fault, and not APMEX's. I love the coin, and I am going to have all 5 PCGS graded. So, we will see how much the poor packaging impacted the coin's grade. I am not sending them back, because they are too rare and it looks like everybody's arrived loose and outside of the capsule.
