2018 Congo Silverback Gorilla Silver Coin 1 oz

Scottsdale Mint shows no sign of easing up on one quality release after another! SD Bullion is proud to feature the 4th coin in the Congo Silverback Coin series from Scottsdale — the 2018 1 oz Congo Silverback Gorirlla Silver Coins! As always, the Congo Silverback Gorilla remains the primary focus for these coins. Adult male goriallas are called silverbacks due to their characterstic silver back hair. When struck by sunlight, their backs throw off a silvery gleam — making it a fitting, majestic animal to form the basis of a silver coin series from the African continent. The Silverback Gorilla Coin program is the result of a partnership between the African nation of Congo and the USA-based, privately-held Scottsdale Mint. The Mint has, over the past few years, partnered with many other sovereign nations to strike legal tender bullion coinage on their behalf. This partnership has proven extremely attractive to countries that don’t have their own government mint. Each of these coins is struck using 1 troy ounce of 0.999 pure silver. Morever, since they are recognized as legal tender in Congo, they bear face values of 5,000 Francs as well! The obverses feature the name of the issuing country (REPUBLIQUE DU CONGO), its face value, and the National Emblem of Congo. On the other hand, the reverses feature the main attraction — the majestic Congo Silverback Gorilla. This year’s design displays a close-up shot of this mammal, capturing its intimidating stare perfectly. These 2018 1 oz Congo Silverback Gorilla Silver Coins are integral pieces of the Congo Silverback Gorilla Silver Coin program from the Scottsdale Mint.
