Obverse
For the obverse of 2023 Colorized Titanoboa 1 oz Silver Coins you will see the Congolese coat of arms. Adopted in 2006, this image contains a leopard face in closeup flanked by a spear and an elephant tusk. There are also inscriptions on the obverse reading REPUBLIQUE DEMOCRATIQUE DU CONGO, 20 FRANCS, 1 OZ AG 999.9.
Reverse
For the reverse of 2023 Colorized Congo Silver Coins a Titanoboa is depicted slithering across a desert surface. Behind the serpent, a crocodile enters the frame, not yet seen by the snake. The two massive creatures and their natural surroundings have been colorized for greater visual impact. This exquisite design is accompanied by inscriptions reading PREHISTORIC LIFE, TITANOBOA, 60-58 MIO YEARS BC, 2023, CRETACEOUS 145-66 MIO YEARS BC, TERTIARY 66-2.6 MIO YEARS BC, QUARTERNARY 2.6 MIO YEARS BC TODAY.
History
In 2009, Titanoboa fossils were discovered in a coal mine in Columbia. Through these fossils, scientists have been able to estimate the size and age of this snake while also approximating its appearance. Roaming the earth during the Middle to Late Paleocene epoch, the Titanoboa was a carnivore, feasting on crocodiles and even other snakes that got in its way.
