Obverse Design:
The obverse of the 2021 release features a striking image of a silverback gorilla in a powerful stance. Depicted standing on its hind legs, the gorilla’s hands rest on rocks in front of it, blending seamlessly into the rugged surroundings. This year’s design departs from previous depictions by incorporating a stylized, full-body image of the majestic creature in a rocky outcrop, emphasizing its strength and dominance as the leader of its troop.
Reverse Design:
The reverse displays the coat of arms of the Republic of Congo, which has been in use since 1991. The national seal features a rampant lion holding a torch on a shield, topped with a forest crown. The shield is supported on either side by heraldic elephants, symbolizing strength and stability.
This coin is an excellent addition for both collectors and investors, offering a mix of stunning design and silver content, with the security of government-backed authenticity and limited availability.
