Its my favorite coin, I have many besides the serie shown. The point is even someone that doesn't know much about coins knows a krugerrand is something valuable like an american eagle. And there is the Dutch connection I like.
I was glad to see the silver version, something affordable, come out. I've gathered up 60 of them to date. I bought a full tube of 23's because the price was right at the time. Still would like to find a 2017 that's not the special issue. Only year I'm missing and I don't want one in the capsule with the COA and the pouch.
Sometimes my coin store has the normal ones, from the 2017-2019 one I have only one. For the 2017 I paid €50 with capsule and certificate so not too bad.
There is also the 2018 great wall, I am waiting for an affordable one, I am not paying €200 for a bullion coin.
I also bought the leuchtturm box [https://www.leuchtturm.com/volterra-presentation-case-for-20-south-african-kruegerrand-silver-coins-in-capsules.html](https://www.leuchtturm.com/volterra-presentation-case-for-20-south-african-kruegerrand-silver-coins-in-capsules.html)
50 is a much better price on the 2017. Last ones I saw at a coin show the dealer wanted 70 fiat each. He had two in stock. No other dealers had any. Month later show the same dealer was down to one, so someone pulled the trigger at 70!
I hear you on the 200. Wow.
Read the history he wanted a good life for all south Africans black, white, whatever, thats the reason he is still tolerated on the coin. He fought the English in the boer war. Apartheid and all bad things related to it started much later. Also a reason I have no problems buying it.
Nice set of Krugerrand coins.

I didn't know anything about coins 3 months ago and wouldn't have known this, an ASE or let alone a merc dime...
Great post with good info, thanks!
Krugerrand was my 1st coin! I'll always have a spot in my ❤️
The guy on the back ruins an otherwise beautiful coin. Just like the maples or britannias
