Comment

The Black Mamba is a highly venomous snake that inhabits the Savanna and woodlands of sub-Saharan Africa. Deadly snakes are both terrifying and fascinating, and the Black Mamba is no exception. Scientists are quick to rank the Mamba among the most dangerous snakes on the planet. The Mamba is enormous, with an average length of 7-8 feet. However, some fully grown specimens can grow to nearly 14 feet. It is also eerily fast and possesses a bite that is often fatal without the administration of antivenom.

Interesting fact

The Black Mamba coin, issued in 2022 by the Republic of the Congo, features an unique design that showcases the majesty and power of the black mamba snake. The coin's obverse side features the snake's image, while the reverse side features the Republic of the Congo's coat of arms. The coin's silver content and weight, 31.1 grams of .999 silver, add to its value and collectibility. This coin is a must-have for any coin collector or snake enthusiast due to its distinctive design and limited availability.
