2017 marked the Krugerrand's 50th anniversary, and the South African Mint used the occasion to expand the brand beyond gold for the first time in its history — introducing the first-ever Silver and Platinum Krugerrands alongside a limited 2 oz gold anniversary coin. For a collector, this is the one year where "Krugerrand" stopped meaning exclusively gold.
The 2017 gold 2 oz anniversary coin is a limited, sought-after piece distinct from the standard 1 oz gold Krugerrand — confirm which product a listing describes, since "2017 Krugerrand" alone doesn't specify metal or size given how many new products launched that year. Silver and Platinum Krugerrands are ongoing product lines since 2017, not one-time issues.
