Silverback Gorilla

First released by Scottsdale in 2015, the Silverback Gorilla series is an annually updated 1oz silver coin. Each year the Gorilla image is updated to refresh the look of the coin and appeal to the silver coin collectors.

The obverse features the Congolese Eastern Lowland Silverback Gorilla image. Arguably the Congo’s most famous fauna, the Gorilla roams the forest near the border with Rwanda.

The coin reverse displays the Republic of Congo crest.
