The History of the Republic of Congo Wildlife Series and the Shoebill

Scottsdale Mint has partnered with the Republic of Congo since 2015 to produce a series of legal-tender bullion coins celebrating Africa's extraordinary wildlife. The collection has earned international recognition for its detailed designs and investment-quality precious metals. The shoebill (Balaeniceps rex) is among the world's most distinctive birds, recognized by its massive shoe-shaped bill and striking prehistoric appearance. Native to the freshwater wetlands of central Africa, the species inhabits countries including Uganda, South Sudan, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Zambia. Despite its common name, the shoebill is not a true stork. Modern DNA research places it within the Pelecaniformes order alongside pelicans and herons. Classified as Vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), only an estimated 3,300 to 5,300 mature shoebills remain in the wild, making this coin a tribute to one of Africa's most remarkable and threatened birds.
