Obverse

The obverse field of 2019 Congo Giraffe 1 oz Silver Coins includes the national emblem of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The official seal features a leopards head in front-facing relief, a design element that dates to Zaire, the former name for the nation, in 1971. What sets this modern design apart are the flanking elements in the image. Here, an elephant tusk is found on the left with a single spear on the right. Inscriptions of the national name and motto on this face are in French. The Democratic Republic of Congo is the largest officially Francophone nation in the world.

Reverse

In the reverse design element, a giraffe runs across the steppes of Africa on the 2019 Congo Giraffe 1 oz Silver Coin. This side of the coin boasts the 24-karat gilded gold layer that includes a thin application of gold on the body of the giraffe, the words The Giraffe and Worlds Wildlife in the top and bottom rockers, and the African continent in the small circle in the center of the bottom rocker.

History

Gilded silver coins are a popular way to create unique visuals on silver bullion specimens. By applying a thin layer of gold, the mint can alter the visual contrast and appeal of the design without overly enhancing the precious metal value of the coin.
