| Reverse description | A highly detailed, realistically rendered portrait of a silverback gorilla dominates the central field, depicted in right-facing profile with its mouth open in a dramatic roar, set against a subtle background of tropical foliage. The legend 'CONGO SILVERBACK GORILLA' arcs along the upper periphery, while the inscriptions '2015 1 OZ 999 SILVER' appear along the lower border. A decorative band of repeating triangular geometric motifs, evoking African tribal art, frames the inner border of the coin on all sides. The design is struck in high relief with a frosted finish on the gorilla against a polished field. |
