Silver Coins from the Republic of Congo
At DEIGOLDANDSILVERCOINS, we buy silver coins from collectors and investors across the globe, including major African silver coins. Most silver coins from Africa, excluding South African Krugerrands, are minted outside the continent. One of the newest additions we acquire comes from the Republic of Congo. This nation produces a limited selection of coins, primarily the Silverback Gorilla coin series, as well as its participation in the African Lion Series in 2016. Discover more about the distinctive silver coins from the Republic of Congo and learn how we purchase them.
Silverback Gorilla Coins
The Congo Silverback Gorilla coin series started in 2015, struck by the Scottsdale Mint. These coins are a rare annual release, featuring a proof-like finish. We actively buy these coins from collectors, and important details include:
- Each coin contains 1 Troy oz of .999 fine silver.
- Face value of 5,000 Francs (CFA), backed by the Republic of Congo.
- Reverse features the seal of the Republic of Congo.
- Coins arrive in protective plastic capsules; multiples of 5 may come in plastic sheets.
- Each release has a limited mintage of 50,000 coins.
The proof-like finish gives the coin a distinct appearance, with mirrored fields and frosted design elements. Every year, the obverse highlights a unique design of the Silverback Gorilla. The term “silverback” represents the dominant male of the gorilla troop, responsible for protecting and leading the family.
Some editions of the Silverback Gorilla coin include colorized finishes or larger weights. For instance, 2017 introduced a 1 Kilo coin with a Brilliant Uncirculated finish instead of proof-like. Colorized versions in 2016 and 2017 capture realistic fur and skin tones, enhancing their collectible value.
Scottsdale Mint and the Republic of Congo
Scottsdale Mint, based in Scottsdale, Arizona, is known for environmentally responsible silver refining. They produce most silver products using recycled silver and collaborate with governments and central banks worldwide. The Republic of Congo was among the first major African countries to partner with Scottsdale Mint, producing coins like the Silverback Gorilla series.
2016 African Silver Lion
The Republic of Congo also appears in the 2016 African Lion 1 oz silver coin series. This series, introduced in 2015, changes the issuing nation and obverse design annually. The 2016 design depicted a male lion and lioness walking the savanna while hunting. Each coin contains 1 Troy oz of .999 pure silver and has a limited mintage of 50,000 coins.
Other Silver Coins from Congo
Newer collections from the Democratic Republic of Congo include the Prehistoric Life and World’s Wildlife series. These collections feature unique animal designs on the reverse, with options of 1 oz silver BU and 1 oz colorized BU coins. DEIGOLDANDSILVERCOINS purchases these coins directly from collectors and investors, providing immediate valuations and secure transactions.
