The 2008 Congo 240 Francs African Wildlife – Elephant silver coin is a powerful tribute to one of Africa’s most iconic animals, struck by the Democratic Republic of the Congo as part of the renowned African Wildlife / Big Five Africa series. Issued in 2008 with a face value of 240 francs, this coin captures the majesty, strength, and symbolic importance of the African elephant.

The reverse features a vividly colored depiction of a walking elephant in the African savanna. The animal is shown in profile, with massive body, long trunk, and curved tusks, set against a dramatic landscape of grasslands, distant mountains, and a glowing sky with warm sunset tones.
