Silver South African Krugerrands were initially offered in 2017 as part of the 50th anniversary of the Krugerrand Series. The 2017 release included two firsts from the South African Mint. In addition to the Silver Krugerrand, the mint also issued a first-ever Platinum Krugerrand. While the Platinum Krugerrand proved to be a one-time issue, the Silver Krugerrand was popular enough that the South African Mint has issued a version of it each year since.
