The 2018 1oz Silver Silverback Gorilla Coin is struck by Scottsdale Mint as a proof-like bullion issue with 1oz of .999 fine metal content. It forms part of the Silver - Silverback Gorilla range, a recognised bullion series collected by date, design and condition.
The obverse features Republic of the Congo coat of arms with denomination, while the reverse carries Annual Congo Silverback Gorilla wildlife design. This pairing gives the 2018 issue its own place within the wider run and helps distinguish it from neighbouring dates.
With a recorded mintage of 75,000, this issue is of interest to collectors comparing availability across the series. Earlier dates, lower-mintage issues and well-preserved examples can attract stronger demand than standard current-year bullion coins.
