A new coin.
Congo 1000 francs 1996 “Panthera onca” coloured silver coin is a striking proof issue dedicated to one of the most powerful wild cats in the world. Struck in silver and certified PR69 by PCGS, this coin combines vivid color application with sharp engraving and deep mirror fields, making it an eye-catching fauna collectible.
The reverse presents a close-up portrait of a panther with intense forward-looking eyes, detailed whiskers, textured fur and distinctive spotted pattern highlighted in rich red and gold tones. Green stylized foliage frames the animal’s head, while the black proof background enhances the dramatic contrast. The inscriptions “FÉLIDÉS,” “Panthera onca,” and the date 1996 appear above. The obverse shows a seated female figure holding a tablet inscribed “UNITE TRAVAIL PROGRES,” surrounded by the inscription “REPUBLIQUE DU CONGO” and the denomination “1000 FRANCS.”
Issued in silver with proof finish and graded PR69 by PCGS, this colourful wildlife coin is an excellent choice for collectors of big cats, African themes, and certified modern commemoratives.
