| Beschrijving keerzijde | A highly detailed, high-relief portrait of a male silverback gorilla dominates the field, depicted in a three-quarter facing pose with mouth open in a powerful roar, conveying raw naturalistic energy. The animal's muscular shoulders and densely textured fur are rendered with exceptional sculptural precision, set against a lush background of foliage and rocky terrain. The upper legend CONGO SILVERBACK GORILLA arcs along the inner border, flanked on both sides by a decorative frieze of repeating triangular motifs evoking traditional African geometric patterns. The lower field carries the inscriptions 2017, 1 OZ, and 999 SILVER, confirming the date, weight, and fineness of the coin. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Republic of the Congo issues legal tender coinage through the Banque des États de l'Afrique Centrale, but collector pieces like this one are almost entirely the product of European minting houses operating under licensing arrangements — the coins rarely, if ever, circulate within the issuing country. The silverback gorilla series targets the bullion and numismatic collector market, competing directly with established wildlife programs from the Perth and South African mints.
KM#251 corresponds to the 2017 issue in what became an ongoing annual series, each year carrying a revised reverse design.
