Hammer's pick of the week.

in steemsilvergold •  6 years ago 

Sorry kinda been busy out swinging these hammers, but I wanted to take a few minutes to showcase a coin that is an absolute must have for any stacker. It comes with a mintage of 1,000,000. Which if you think about the population of the world, 1,000,000 isn't really that much. This one is right out of South Africa.

Here is a little information about the South African Krugerrand provided by JM Bullion

The South African Mint is celebrating this monumental milestone for the Krugerrand with the striking of a 2017 South African Silver Krugerrand. The new Silver Krugerrand marks the first-ever silver coin in the long-running Krugerrand collection.

While many new-issue silver and gold coins feature a Brilliant Uncirculated finish, the South African Mint considers these coins Premium Uncirculated coins. This unique condition is attributed to both the quality of the silver used in the production of each Silver Krugerrand, as well as the state-of-the-art laser etching technology used to bring an incredible new level of detail to life on the Krugerrand design.

Each of the new 2017 1 oz South African Silver Krugerrandcoins listed here has a gorgeous mint luster and a distinct engraving, which makes the coins of this initial release truly worthy of a Premium Uncirculated grade.

On the reverse of all South African Silver Krugerrand coins is the image of a Springbok antelope. Both sides of the coin have engravings in both English and the native Afrikaans spoken by tribes and ethnic groups in South Africa. The designs on the modern obverse and reverse were refined in 1984, with Otto Schultz revitalizing Kruger’s portrait and Coert Steynberg reimagining the Springbok antelope.

The obverse of the Silver Krugerrand features the left-profile portrait of Paul Kruger. Known as Stephanus Johannes Paulus Kruger, he was the most dominant political and military figure of 19th-century South Africa. He led the Boer cause for a free and independent South African republic, even serving as the third president from 1883 to 1900.

The South African Mint is the official sovereign mint of the Republic of South Africa. Headquartered in Centurion, in Gauteng province outside of Pretoria, it produces coinage for the South African Reserve Bank.

Long time no see! Nice krug 👍

Had to take a break and swing a few hammers. Gotta stay in shape. Thanks Vessel

It is a beautiful coin, but the price they charge for a coin with 1,000,000 mintage is very steep.

Very cool! I look that it has a high luster and that gazelle. 1 million does come out to be a rare coin.

Damn straight hammer! I gave one to my bro for his 50th b-day, and i’ve got two more... but i’d like to get even more. They are stunning in person and have a very rich history for a bullion round.
