Description from the seller
2025 – Republic of Congo – Prehistoric II – Megalodon – 1 oz Silver – .999 Fine – Colorized – BU
The 2025 “Megalodon” 1 oz silver coin is part of the Prehistoric II series issued for the Republic of Congo, dedicated to iconic and fearsome creatures of ancient Earth.
Struck from 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver in BU quality, this edition features a vivid colorized design depicting the legendary Megalodon — the largest predatory shark in prehistoric history.
Details:
• Country: Republic of Congo
• Year: 2025
• Series: Prehistoric II
• Theme: Megalodon
• Metal: Silver (.999 fine)
• Weight: 1 oz (31.1 g)
• Quality: Brilliant Uncirculated (BU)
• Finish: Colorized (collector’s edition)
• Face value: 1,000 Francs CFA
• Diameter: ~38–40 mm
• Mint: Likely Scottsdale Mint (common producer of the series)
Description:
The reverse features a dramatic colorized illustration of the Megalodon, capturing its massive size and power as it emerges from the depths.
The color application enhances the detail and creates a striking visual contrast against the silver fields.
The obverse displays the Coat of Arms of the Republic of Congo, together with inscriptions for denomination, year and purity.
This release is especially popular among collectors of dinosaur and prehistoric-themed coins, as well as fans of bold artistic designs.
Note:
This coin is BU quality with a colorized finish.
Minor micro-scratches, contact marks, or light natural toning (patina) may appear due to the minting and handling process. These characteristics are typical for BU/colorized coins and do not affect collectible value.
