The Democratic Republic of the Congo normally uses banknotes for circulation, and does not issue coins in the Congolese Franc currency. However, the country has authorised some foreign mints to issue commemorative and bullion coins under its jurisdiction. Most of them are in standard bullion sizes, including one ounce of silver - such as this coin. This coin is part of the the Predators Series, and is dedicated to the Scorpion. Scorpions are survivalists that can live in harsh and scarce environments by slowing down their metabolism; due to this they are able to survive without food for a whole year. All scorpions have a venomous stinger used for hunting and self-defence, however only a few species are an actual threat to humans. Especially interesting is the fact that scorpions are able to adjust their venom to suit different predators and prey. The coin features four different minting techniques: the stinger is done in incuse minting and reverse proof, the scorpion and sand are done in matt finish, and the background in proof. | ||||||
