Where Does An 800-Pound Gorilla Sit? How About In Your Coin Collection!
There’s an old joke that asks the question, “Where does an 800-pound gorilla sit?” The answer: “Anywhere it wants to!” The truth of the matter, however, is that despite their immense size and enormous strength, gorillas are an endangered species. One place where they still roam free is in the central African nation of the Republic of Congo, where that country’s rainforest reserves are habitats for gorillas. The Congo is also the place where these spectacularly designed silver coins come from that pay tribute to the greatest of the great apes!
Unique Design Is A Rock-Solid Depiction Of A Mountain Gorilla
The seventh release in the Congo Silverback Gorilla Series, the uniquely designed coin shows a muscular Mountain Gorilla standing on its hind legs amid rocks and trees. The rock-like depiction of the gorilla matches the style of the boulders that lay at its feet to give the overall image one of continuity. It was struck by the skilled artisans at the renowned Scottsdale Mint in a full ounce of highly pure 99.9% fine silver and carries a legal-tender denomination of 500 CFA (Central African Francs). The razor-sharp designs are so crisp and clear that you can see every leaf hanging from the tree canopy floating above the gorilla’s head!
Near-Perfect Coins From Among The First Released
What’s more, each coin here has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) in near-perfect Mint State-69 (MS69) condition, a distinction that means these almost-flawless coins showcase impressive full strikes and indistinguishable imperfections — well above and beyond the quality of the vast majority of coins in the series. In addition, NGC has pedigreed these coins with a First Releases (FR) certification, a designation that means these coins were received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository within the first 30 days of their release.
