Comment
2017 saw the fiftieth anniversary of the gold Krugerrand and the South African Mint issued a commemorative limited edition proof 1oz Silver Krugerrand. Due to the popularity of this release, they have now issued a bullion version to compete with the other main silver bullion coins. This is the same design as the 2017 one, but without the commemorative logo.
In 2018, coins with the Great Wall of China as a privy mark was issued. The reasoning behind the issue is unknown.
As of 2019 combination Proof sets were issue with the Big Five as mint mark on the front of the Silver Kruger Rand. The combination sets consists of a Silver Kruger Rand with a mint mark corrosponding to the Silver Five Rand in the set. For example, the Kruger Rand will have a Buffalo on, and the Five Rand Buffalo will be in the set. Here are the links to the various Five Rand coins.

Interesting fact
The Silver Krugerrand coin was first introduced in 2018 as a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not meant to be used as legal tender or circulated in the economy. Instead, it was produced as a collector's item and was only available for purchase directly from the South African Mint or authorized dealers. Despite being made of silver, the coin still bears the same design as the gold Krugerrand, which features a portrait of Paul Kruger, the former president of the South African Republic, on one side and a springbok antelope on the other.
