Highlights:
The 2017 Proof Congo Colorized Silverback Gorilla 1 oz Silver Coin brings the beauty and awe of the silverback gorilla to life, on a series of silver coins. Each year a new coin is released by the Scottsdale Mint, for the Republic of Congo, featuring a new image of the silverback gorilla.
Gorillas can be categorized as western and eastern gorillas, with several subspecies within those categories. Both the western and the eastern gorillas are considered to be critically endangered, largely due to interference by man.
