Roughly half of the mountain gorilla population can be found in the Virunga Mountain range bordering Congo, Uganda, and Rwanda. This subspecies of the eastern gorilla was discovered in 1902 and has since endured decades of disease, war, and habitat loss. As such, many wondered if the population would survive into the new century. But though the subspecies remains Endangered, its numbers have more than doubled since 2010 thanks to the tireless efforts of conservationists and activists.
These 2023 Rwandan Mountain Gorilla Coins were struck at Mayer Mint on behalf of the National Bank of Rwanda. Each piece boasts a .999 purity level and is considered Brilliant Uncirculated. This means that few, if any, signs of wear and tear will be visible on the coin’s surfaces. To preserve their exceptional quality, each coin resides in a protective acrylic capsule.
The obverse of 2023 Mountain Gorilla Silver Coins bears the Emblem of Rwanda. Adopted in 2001, this national emblem features a decorative rope surrounding a pair of Rwandan shields. These shields then flank a cog wheel supporting a woven basket, a coffee branch, and a stem of sorghum.
On the reverse of 2023 2 oz Rwandan Silver Coins a family of mountain gorillas is depicted. Expertly rendered, this design features two adult primates along with their infant as they relax in the jungles of Rwanda. An anniversary logo and a motif of Africa are also featured.
