New Coin Release: 2023 Silverback Gorilla

Deep in the lush forests of central Africa, the magnificent silverback gorillas command attention with their sheer strength and commanding presence.

 

Beyond their impressive stature, these gentle giants are known for their extraordinary relationship with their offspring. In the intricate social structure of gorilla families, the silverback, or dominant male, assumes the role as Father and Leader of the herd.

 

Now in its 9th year, the 2023 Silverback Gorilla coin program features a Father Ape holding his child close to his chest. After many years highlighting the fierce and aggressive nature of this massive primate, we wanted to offer a fatherly impression of the Silverback to embody the many amazing fathers and dads who stack to protect their families from an increasingly dangerous world.

 

Through gentle grooming, playful interactions, and attentive guidance, they instill a sense of security and belonging within the family unit. The watchful eyes of these protective fathers ensure the safety of their young, and they lead by example, demonstrating essential life skills and social behaviors. When faced with potential threats, silverback gorillas courageously defend their children, exemplifying unwavering dedication to the protection and well-being of their family.
