The colored version of the series has a limited mintage of 5,000 pieces

The African Wildlife series is a unique collection of bullion coins that has gained recognition in international markets among collectors and investors. Its central theme is to showcase the extraordinary richness of African fauna—each successive issue features a new animal that symbolizes the continent’s wild nature. As a result, the series combines aesthetic and investment value, making it an attractive option for both nature enthusiasts and those investing in precious metals. The coins are produced by the renowned German mint, the Bavarian State Mint (Bayerisches Hauptmünzamt), whose centuries-old tradition dates back over 850 years. Each coin is characterized by high craftsmanship, refined details, and the use of carefully selected precious metals—both gold and silver. The reverse design, which changes annually, gives each issue its own character and collector’s uniqueness.

The 2026 edition features a shark on the reverse—a symbol of nature’s strength and perfection, depicted in a dynamic and evocative form. The name of the series—World’s Wildlife—is inscribed along the edge, emphasizing its global scope and the idea of wildlife conservation. The obverse traditionally displays the coat of arms of the Republic of the Congo, along with the year of issue, the face value, and technical details such as weight and gold fineness. These elements confirm the coin’s authenticity and the quality of the precious metal used.
