All 2017 100 Gram Democratic Republic of Congo Silver Water Buffalo Coins in this listing are in BU condition. Coins in BU condition exhibit no signs of wear and tear, although you may notice a range of minor flaws including breaks in the luster, spotted surfaces, and contact marks from the coining process.
On the reverse side of the Silver Water Buffalo Coin is the coat of arms for the Democratic Republic of Congo. Formerly a Belgian colony in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Congo is the second-largest nation in Africa by size and 11th largest in the world. The coat of arms features the national motto of “Justice-Paix-Travail,” which translates from French to “Justice, Peace, Work.”
The obverse of all 2017 100 Gram DRC Silver Water Buffalo Coins includes two images of the water buffalo. In the far background, you’ll notice the shadowy outline of the massive beast, while the nearly field is dominated by the gruff, imposing image of the buffalo’s face. Water buffalo originated in South Asia, Southeast Asia, and China, and today can also be found in Europe, Australia, South America, and certain African countries.

“Absolutely gorgeous coin. It has a proof like sheen with a splendid detailed strike. I normally buy a bullion priced round but this was the worth the few extra dollars per coin.”
