2015 1 oz Silver Coin – Endangered Species – Mountain Gorilla
LIMITED EDITION – ONLY 2000 COINS WORLDWIDE
COIN STORY
The latest release in our Endangered Species Coin Collection, the Silver Coin – Mountain Gorilla.
Other coins in this series are:
As their name implies, mountain gorillas live in forests high in the mountains, at elevations of 8,000 to 13,000 feet. They have thicker fur, and more of it, compared to other great apes. The fur helps them to survive in a habitat where temperatures often drop below freezing. But as humans have moved more and more into the gorillas’ territory, the gorillas have been pushed farther up into the mountains for longer periods, forcing them to endure dangerous and sometimes deadly conditions.
Reverse Design
This relief engraving captures an endangered Mountain Gorilla looking out over its territory. The powerful Silverback on this relief engraved silver coin is mirrored in the finely engraved water.
Obverse Design
This coin is issued by New Zealand Mint as legal tender, under the authority of Niue, and features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Packaging
The Endangered Species, Mountain Gorilla 1oz Silver coin comes packaged inside a crate-shaped inner coin case, which sits inside a green colored outer packaging.
