Try google...it is smart!
It would be smart if you actually do Google indeed.
To copy and paste a link from the first silver kruggerrand seller you found on google ain't exactly smart.
If you take the time to check out some other hits that google came up with and do some reading.that would be considdered smart.
Damn, are you also reading your spam?
You do believe in Santa do you?
The maker of this "disney dollar" was not so smart either.
The portret is that of Paul Kruger,not some Stefans J. Kruger.
During the 1980s, a silver Krugerrand was struck; however, this was struck privately. The most common dates that have been seen are the 1982 and 1983 issues, but other dates have been reported. The 1982 issue commemorates the 15th anniversary of the gold Krugerrand, and the 1983 issue commemorates the 16th anniversary of the gold Krugerrand. It is interesting to note that there is no reference to South Africa anywhere on these coins. Like the gold Krugerrand, the silver Krugerrand is traded based on its bullion value. The silver Krugerrand is arranged in coinage alignment, as opposed to the medallic alignment of the gold Krugerrand. Like the gold Krugerrand, the silver Krugerrand also has a milled edge.
As the word krugerrand is a trademark, it is not correct or legally sound to refer to these silver discs as "silver krugerrands", they are medallions which merely purport to be silver krugerrands, in breach of the intellectual property rights of the trademark owner. It may be noted that there is no indication on these medallions of who issued them.
The obverse has the portrait of President Kruger in high relief. His name is inscribed as 'STEFANS JOHANNES KRUGER'.
The reverse depicts Coert Steynberg's pronking springbok design, just like that on the gold Krugerrand. Above the springbok is the inscription 'ONE TROY OZ .999 FINE SILVER' in three lines. Around the design is the inscription 'KRUGERRAND COMMEMORATIVE' and the double dates '1967-1982', '1967-1983' and so on.
The silver version does exist yes but that does not make it a real Krugerrand.
A counterfeit it is.
