Comment
Located in the mountains of Africa, the silverback gorilla is an imposing presence that can grow up to six feet tall. Subsisting on an herbivorous diet, the silverback will consume everything from roots and herbs to bark and bamboo. While they may be intimidating, the silverback gorilla has a reputation for being rather gentle and reserved. That is, unless they are threatened, in which case the alpha male will stand up straight and pound its chest to ward off enemies.Interesting fact
The Congo Silverback Gorilla coin is a unique and limited edition coin that features an image of a majestic silverback gorilla on its obverse side. The coin's design is inspired by the natural beauty of the Congo Basin, where the gorillas inhabit, and the coin's silver content is a nod to the region's rich mineral resources. The coin's reverse side features the coat of arms of the Republic of the Congo, adding an extra layer of authenticity and national pride to the design. With only a limited number of coins minted, the Congo Silverback Gorilla coin is a rare and valuable collector's item for anyone interested in wildlife, conservation, or African culture.
