Scottsdale Mint contracted with the government of the Republic of Congo in 2015 to strike an annual coin series featuring one of the nation’s most famous residents; the Silverback Gorilla. After an inaugural release in 2015 that featured just 50,000 coins, mintage has been increased for 2016.

Gorilla is a broad species term that actually encompasses two different species and four to five subspecies. The Republic of Congo is home to the eastern lowland gorilla, which lives in the dense forests and lowland swamps or marshes along the nation’s border with Rwanda.

Each 2016 1 oz Congo Silver Silverback Gorilla coin features a new design for the series. The annual program will include new obverse imagery each year, though it will always focus on the coin’s namesake gorillas. These proof-like specimens have mirrored finishes with some degree of frost on the designs.

The obverse of the Congo Silver Gorilla coin features the up-close image of a Silverback Gorilla’s face as it stares back at you. Engravings include the series name for the coins along the top, with the year of issue, weight, purity, and metal content along the bottom.

On the reverse of the 2016 1 oz Congo Silver Silverback Gorilla coin is the image of the coat of arms for the Republic of Congo. Engravings at the top of this side include the nation’s name in the French language, and the coin’s face value is featured below.

The Scottsdale Mint is a private minting facility located in the Phoenix, Arizona suburb of Scottsdale. This is the mint’s first sovereign coin program. A significant portion of silver bullion used by Scottsdale in its production process is recovered from other industries, such as manufacturing.

When refused, the package(s) will return to JM Bullion for inspection.

  1. When we receive your payment (checks and wires must be initiated/sent by you).

  2. Holding period after cleared payment.
    • Depending on your payment method, we will hold the order once payment is received and cleared. The hold periods by payment method are listed in checkout and in your confirmation email. Paper checks take the longest and are held up to five business days after payment clears.
  3. Shipping method and transit time.
    • UPS 3-Day Air is the fastest and most reliable method of shipping. These are usually delivered in 1-3 business days once in transit.
    • USPS is less consistent in both transit time and tracking accuracy.

All packages shipped by JM Bullion are covered by insurance subject to certain conditions. In the unlikely event that your order is Lost in Transit, you need to contact us immediately. Lost in Transit is defined for the USPS as tracking not having updated in 5 or more calendar days. For UPS, it is 3 calendar days. You must contact us within 7 days since last tracking for USPS and 3 days since last tracking for UPS. If you do not contact us by these timeframes, insurance will not cover the package.

Once you contact us, we research the shipment with the carrier and begin the claim process. The claims process can take 30 or more days to resolve, and many Lost in Transit shipments end up getting delivered late. If the package is delivered, you must notify us within 24 hours.
