One of the more impressive foreign bullion coin programs in existence right now is the Congo Silver Silverback Gorilla from Scottsdale Mint. First issued in 2015, these coins have a new obverse design that depicts the Silverback Gorilla in a different pose. The coins have proof-like production features and are issued for the Republic of the Congo. Right now, the 2017 1 oz Congo Silver Silverback Gorilla Coin is available to purchase online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each of the 2017 1 oz Congo Silver Silverback Gorilla Coins available to you here today is shipped inside of protective plastic capsules when purchased individually. Typically, multiples of five are offered by Scottsdale Mint inside of sealed sheets. All of the coins have a proof-like appearance, with mirror-like finishes visible.
The Silverback Gorilla Series from Scottsdale Mint has been available since 2015 with low mintage figures, proof-like production, and a new design on the obverse. While the coins are labeled Silverback Gorilla, that is not a term used to refer to the species. Gorillas exist in two distinct species: Western Lowland and Eastern Lowland.
Gorillas live in social groups known as troops, which typically consist of just one male, multiple females, and the resulting offspring. The lead male in a troop is known as the silverback only when he has reached the age of 12. When gorilla troops clash, silverback males typically fight to the death for dominance.
On the obverse of the 2017 1 oz Congo Silver Silverback Gorilla Coin you’ll find the all-new design for this year’s release. It depicts a massive silverback with his powerful jaw open and his muscular frame visible from the chest up. He is depicted letting out a fierce roar, likely a sign of aggression and dominance toward another silverback.
The reverse of all Congo Silver Silverback Gorilla Coins includes the coat of arms for the Republic of the Congo. Located in Central Africa, the Republic of the Congo is home to the vast majority of the population of Western Lowland gorillas, which inhabit the dense forests, lowland swamps, and marshes of the region.

"This is my second purchase of this coin. The coin comes in a capsule and is vacuum sealed to a Scottsdale Mint branded piece of cardboard. The first Gorilla I got had the gorilla facing in toward the cardboard showing the obverse of the coin. However, there was a sticker on the back of the cardboard identifying the coin. I wanted to leave the coin as original as possible. So I bought another coin so that I could see the reverse side of the coin without losing any of the integrity and authenticity of the original packaging. The coins are absolutely stunning. I would highly recommend buying at least one as there are only 75K minted and $23.70 was a very good price to buy these at considering the mintage size and quality of the coin. JMB had my order in just 2 short business days. GREAT JOB JMB!"
