The design includes the inscriptions:

  • REPUBLIQUE DU CONGO
  • 500 FRANCS CFA

Its official government design reinforces the authenticity and legal tender status of the coin.

The Reverse Design

The reverse showcases a mature silverback gorilla standing proudly in a dense jungle while performing its iconic chest-beating display. Fine engraving highlights the gorilla's muscular physique, textured fur, and commanding expression, while lush vegetation creates depth throughout the background.

Additional inscriptions include:

  • CONGO SILVERBACK GORILLA
  • ONE OUNCE FINE SILVER
  • 2022

The chest-beating design is exclusive to the 2022 release and will not appear on any other coin in the series.

The History of the Congo Silverback Gorilla Series

The Congo Silverback Gorilla series debuted in 2015 through a partnership between Scottsdale Mint and the Republic of Congo. Designed as an annual bullion program, each release features a completely new portrait of the iconic silverback gorilla, making every year unique and highly collectible. The series quickly gained international recognition for its exceptional wildlife artwork and limited mintages. Following the 2023 release, Scottsdale Mint paused the program, making the existing coins a closed collection. As a result, the 2022 edition represents a fixed entry in one of modern bullion's most popular wildlife series. The coin also honors the western lowland gorilla, the subspecies native to the Republic of Congo. Although it is the most numerous gorilla species, it remains critically endangered due to habitat loss, poaching, disease outbreaks, and other environmental pressures, making the series a tribute to one of Africa's most remarkable animals.
