to the CCF !
Average measured rim thickness 10% greater than spec, and would not be in tolerance for a bullion coin.
If correct weight, then 10% less dense than for pure silver, at 9.45 grams /cc. (Ag 10.5 g / cc).
It is a possibility that a base metal alloy may have a density of 9.45 g / cc, but that is pure speculation on my part.
If the given information is reviewed and confirmed as correct, then the possibility of silver plated fake arises.
It would be very wrong to say that it is fake without pictures, so it would be best to confirm as genuine, with a coin dealer or bullion dealer, who is familiar with silver krugerrand bullion coins.
