Krugerrand 1 ounce of silver 2026

The Silver Krugerrand 2026 continues one of the world’s most renowned bullion series. The coin is struck from pure .999 fine silver (Ag), weighing 1 ounce and measuring 38.7 mm in diameter. It carries a guarantee from the government of the Republic of South Africa, confirming the coin’s legal status, purity, and metal authenticity. Importantly, although the coin is legal tender, it bears no face value—its value is based directly on the current silver price, and the South African Reserve Bank undertakes to repurchase it at the market price.

The silver Krugerrand is a popular choice for investors who value high liquidity, recognizability, and ease of resale. Introduced in silver in 2017, the series quickly earned a strong reputation thanks to its classic design and stable market position, making it an attractive component of an investment portfolio.

Obverse: features a portrait of Paul Kruger, former President of the Transvaal, surrounded by the country’s name in two languages: “SUID-AFRIKA” and “SOUTH AFRICA.” This is a faithful reference to the historical design used on Krugerrands since 1967.

Reverse: shows a springbok antelope—the symbol of the Republic of South Africa. The year of issue, 2026, appears on either side, and the lower portion bears the inscription “FYNSILWER 1 OZ FINE SILVER R1,” indicating the weight and silver fineness. The classic design preserves the investment character of the series and its strong connection to the tradition of South African minting.
