The Congo Republic 1000 Francs African Ounce “Wildlife – Zebra” silver coin, issued in 2015, is a striking celebration of one of Africa’s most recognizable and symbolic animals.

The reverse features a beautifully engraved scene with two zebras standing side by side on open savannah grassland. Their distinctive black-and-white stripes are rendered with exceptional precision, creating strong visual contrast and depth. The animals are shown in calm, alert poses, with upright ears, expressive faces, muscular bodies, and clearly defined legs. The background includes textured grass, rolling terrain, and scattered trees beneath an open sky. Along the upper rim runs the inscription “Zebras Silver Ounce 2015,” while an outline of the African continent contains the silver purity mark, reinforcing the African wildlife theme.

The obverse displays the coat of arms of the Republic of Congo, with a central shield supported by two elephants, a crown-like emblem above, and a ribbon below bearing the national motto. Surrounding inscriptions read “REPUBLIQUE DU CONGO” and “1000 FRANCS CFA.”

Struck in silver with an antique finish and certified by PCGS as MS70, this 2015 issue represents flawless mint-state quality. It is an excellent choice for collectors of African wildlife, animal themes, and top-grade modern world silver coins.
