I know that many buyers of the 2017 Silver Krugerrand wondered if this was a once-off issue or whether more would be minted in following years. A new news article confirms that Rand Refinery is in talks with the South African Mint to launch the new 2018 Silver Krugerrand in an attempt to boost sales. I do not see any reason why they would not go this route since they had tremendous successes this year with the 2017 Silver Krugerrand. https://www.businesslive.co.za/bd/companies/mining/2017-08-17-krugerrand-maker-seeks-silver-lining/
