Obverse

Featuring an exquisite obverse design, the 2022 Congo Silver Shoebill Stork Coin proudly highlights Congo’s coat of arms. This intricately crafted depiction presents the head of a majestic leopard, gazing forward with grace and power. The leopard’s commanding presence is elevated as it rests above a sturdy rock slab, complemented by an elegant elephant tusk on the left and a steadfast spear on the right.

Striking a left-profile pose, the stork dominates the coin’s surface, showcasing its majestic wings arched in a powerful display as it effortlessly glides through the open space.

History

Shoebill Storks are considered elusive birds, as they are solitary and tend to inhabit remote and inaccessible wetland areas. Their population is also relatively small and declining, leading to their classification as “Vulnerable” on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Conservation efforts are being made to protect their habitats and raise awareness about their conservation status.
