| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a finely detailed frontal portrait of a polar bear (Ursus maritimus) occupying the right half of the field, its fur rendered with exceptional engraving detail. To the left, a large polar bear paw print is shown against a contrasting dark background, creating a striking two-tone composition. The series name PREDATORS arcs prominently along the upper legend, with the Linnaean binomial URSUS MARITIMUS and the date 2020 inscribed below. The fineness and weight notation .999 FINE SILVER 1 OZ appears in the lower exergue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Democratic Republic of the Congo has operated as a prolific issuer of collector silver since the late 1990s, producing themed series with no domestic circulation intent whatsoever — the coins are struck entirely for the foreign numismatic market, typically through European minting contractors. The polar bear designation here is straightforward wildlife-series commerce.
KM#315 sits in a long run of Congolese wildlife issues that have drawn scrutiny from catalogers for inconsistent authorizing documentation, though the pieces themselves are genuine legal tender instruments under Congolese law in the most technical sense.
