    The Silverback Gorilla Coin issued by Scottsdale Mint on behalf of the Republic of Congo hits its fifth release in 2019, and in keeping with previous issues of the coin there is a brand-new design available on the obverse of the coin. The 2019 1 oz Congo Silverback Gorilla Coin is currently available to you for purchase online from JM Bullion.

    Coin Highlights:

    • Coins arrive inside of protective capsules or skin boards of five coins!
    • 5th issue of the Congo Silver Silverback Gorilla coin!
    • Limited mintage of only 75,000 coins!
    • Contains 1 Troy oz of .999 in BU condition.
    • Issued a face value of 5,000 Francs by the Republic of Congo.
    • On the obverse is a depiction of a silverback gorilla letting out a roar.
    • The reverse face of the coins includes the seal of the Republic of Congo.
    • Proof-like visuals.

    The Silverback Gorilla coin program launched from Scottsdale Mint in 2015 and features new obverse designs each year. The coins have alternated between more docile, relaxed images of the silverback and aggressive designs that depict the gorilla letting out a roar in defense of its family group.

    2019 1 oz Congo Silver Silverback Gorilla Coins are Brilliant Uncirculated specimens, but have a proof-like visual finish. This means the coins have slightly frosted, matte design elements with background fields that have a mirrored appearance.

    On the obverse of the 2019 Congo Silverback Gorilla coin is the image of a massive male gorilla. This year’s depiction captures the male in an aggressive design with his mouth open wide as he roars at a perceived threat that is not visible in the design. Inscriptions on this side of coin include “Congo Silverback Gorilla” above the design field and the coin’s date mark, weight, purity, and metal content.

    The silverback gorilla is not a specific species of gorilla, but is a term used to refer to the leader of the family troop. The eldest male gorilla is known as the silverback gorilla and is typically the family member that decides where the troop rests and moves to find new food sources.

    The reverse of 2019 1 oz Congo Silverback Gorilla Coins features the national seal of the Republic of Congo. This design includes the national shield, with a rampant lion depicted on its surface. The shield is supported on either side by elephants with a crown above that includes the inscription “Republique du Congo,” the nation’s full name in French.

    These 2019 Congo Silver Silverback Gorilla Coins are available with protective capsules for individual purchases or inside of skin boards containing five coins. The skin board individually seals each coin and allows the buyer to separate the five coins, if they so choose, without unsealing the individual coins.

    Over the past five releases, the Scottsdale Mint has issued its Silverback Gorilla coins in 1 oz weights and a 1 Kilo option. The 1 oz silver coins are typically available in this BU proof-like option and a colorized version.

    We encourage JM Bullion customers to contact us with questions at 800-276-6508. You can also reach out to us online through our live chat and email address features.

    We recommend you refuse any shipment that appears to be damaged or tampered with as the shipping insurance ends once signed for and/or delivered. When refused, the package(s) will return to JM Bullion for inspection.

    When will I receive my order?+

    When you will receive your order depends primarily on three factors

    1. When we receive your payment (checks and wires must be initiated/sent by you).
      • Please note that you will receive a Paid email once your payment is received.
    2. Holding period after cleared payment.
      • Depending on your payment method, we will hold the order once payment is received and cleared. The hold periods by payment method are listed in checkout and in your confirmation email. Paper checks take the longest and are held up to five business days after payment clears.
    3. Shipping method and transit time.
      • UPS 3-Day Air is the fastest and most reliable method of shipping. These are usually delivered in 1-3 business days once in transit.
      • USPS is less consistent in both transit time and tracking accuracy.
    What happens if my order is lost in transit?+

    All packages shipped by JM Bullion are covered by insurance subject to certain conditions. In the unlikely event that your order is Lost in Transit, you need to contact us immediately. Lost in Transit is defined for the USPS as tracking not having updated in 5 or more calendar days. For UPS, it is 3 calendar days. You must contact us within 7 days since last tracking for USPS and 3 days since last tracking for UPS. If you do not contact us by these timeframes, insurance will not cover the package.

    Once you contact us, we research the shipment with the carrier and begin the claim process. The claims process can take 30 or more days to resolve, and many Lost in Transit shipments end up getting delivered late. If the package is delivered, you must notify us within 24 hours.

    Depending on your method of payment, it is possible to have your order shipped to an address other than your billing address. If you pay with paper check, bank wire, ACH, Ethereum, Ripple, or bitcoin, you may have your order shipped wherever you please, with two exceptionsUPS locations and mail forwarding locations.

If you would like to upgrade your shipping, you may choose one of the other options for a small fee. Simply click on the circle next to the shipping method you desire, and your order will be shipped via that method.

    If my order includes an item on presale, will the in-stock items ship first?+

    Unfortunately, due to the way insurance is applied to an order, everything must ship at the same time (i.e., in-stock items must await shipment until all presale items have arrived). Your order will ship in its entirety within 24-72 hours of our receiving the presale item. An email notification will be sent when your order ships.

    Do you ship to US territories?+

    We do not ship to US territories. Due to special requirements set by the postal systems, we are unable to ship outside of U.S. states.

    All orders will ship from our warehouse in Las Vegas, Nevada. We mask our return address on all packages as to not give away the contents of the package.
