Detailed description
Congo Silverback Gorilla - 2016
The second silver bullion coin issued by the Republic of Congo in 2016, minted from the purest 99.9% silver weighing 1 Oz (31.1 g) by the US Mint Scottsdale, is dedicated to one of the largest primates on Earth - the Gorilla.
The reverse of the coin features a gorilla motif surrounded by a tropical forest with the inscriptions "CONGO SILVERBACK GORILLA", the weight "1 Oz", the fineness "999 SILVER" and the year of issue. Gorillas inhabit the tropical and subtropical forests of Central Africa. Although their range is limited to only a few percent of Africa, their habitat covers a wide range of altitudes. Gorillas move with a peculiar gait, using the joints of their forelimbs to support themselves. Some males acquire silver stripes on their fur from the age of 12, after which they are known as "silverback". Adult females often weigh only half the weight of a fully grown male. Gorilla DNA is 98 to 99% identical to human DNA and after chimpanzees, gorillas are the closest relatives to humans.
The obverse shows the national emblem of the Congo with the inscriptions "REPULIQUE DU CONGO" and the denomination "5000 CFA FRANCS".
The coin comes in a plastic capsule. The mintage is limited to only 75,000 pieces for the whole world!
