In addition to the 2 oz proof coin, there is also a 1 oz proof and Brilliant Uncirculated version available for collectors and investors.
The obverse of 2023 Proof South African Silver Krugerrand Coins contains a portrait of Paul Kruger. This famous soldier and statesman famously defended the Transvaal against the British army. In 1883, he became president of the South African Republic. In the portrait by Otto Schultz, Kruger is depicted from the chest up facing left. Inscriptions on the obverse read Suid Afrika, South Africa.
