The Democratic Republic of Congo is the primary foreign government that has turned to the Scottsdale Mint of Arizona for the striking of silver bullion coinage. The mint has produced numerous coin programs for the nation to date, and now another arrives with the Silver Water Buffalo Coin. Today, the 2017 100 Dram Silver DRC Water Buffalo Coin is available to you online at Silver.com.

Coin Highlights:

  • Ships to you in tubes of 7 coins, with individual coins in plastic.
  • First release of Silver Water Buffalo coins!
  • Mintage limited to 30,000 coins only!
  • Consists of 100 Grams, or 3.215 Troy ounces, of .999 fine silver in BU condition.
  • Face value of 50 Francs is fully backed by the Democratic Republic of Congo.
  • Obverse includes the image of a Water Buffalo.
  • Reverse features the coat of arms for the Congo.

The 2017 100 Dram Silver DRC Water Buffalo Coin is the first-ever release of a new coin program. These coins follow the popular releases from the Scottsdale Mint of the Silverback Gorilla coins and the Silver African Lion. The latter coin was originally issued for Burundi, but is now a Silver Congo coin from Scottsdale.

Each of the 2017 100 Gram Silver Democratic Republic of Congo Water Buffalo Coins in this listing are in BU condition. Coins in BU condition exhibit no signs of wear and tear, although you may notice a range of minor flaws including breaks in the luster, spotted surfaces, and contact marks from the coining process.

Silver Water Buffalo Coins have a concave design field on both the obverse and reverse sides, with a crisp, reeded edge to the coin. There is a distinct design pattern on the background field of the reverse that mimics a smooth river rock appearance. It appears under the coat of arms design. Additionally, the coins are only available in multiples of 7. The coins will ship to you sealed inside of plastic tubes for protection courtesy of the Scottsdale Mint.

The obverse of all 2017 100 Gram Silver DRC Water Buffalo Coins includes two images of the water buffalo. In the far background you’ll notice the shadowy outline of the massive beast, while the nearly field is dominated by the gruff, imposing image of the buffalo’s face. Water buffalo originated in South Asia, Southeast Asia, and China, and today can also be found in Europe, Australia, South America, and certain African countries.

On the reverse side of the Silver Water Buffalo Coin is the coat of arms for the Democratic Republic of Congo. Formerly a Belgian colony in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Congo is the second-largest nation in Africa by size and 11th largest in the world. The coat of arms features the national motto of “Justice-Paix-Travail,” which translates from French to “Justice, Peace, Work.”

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Finally, the data we do retain in our system, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, and order history, is never shared with or sold to any unrelated third-parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details on our data security measures.

Please feel welcome to call us toll free at 1(888) 989-7223 or use our Live Chat feature during normal business hours Monday through Friday, 08:00 a.m. to 06:00 p.m. CST. Alternatively, you can email us at help@silver.com and expect a response within 1 business day.

Please note, the Silver.com website accepts orders 24/7/365, so you can always lock in live product prices and make purchases outside of business hours.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
