Is this a Lunar play? Year of the Monkey turns into apes, not bad but seems like a stretch. Can't wait to see what the year of the chicken, mouse etc look like.
I don't think so, just using an endangered wildlife emblem on a coin. Pretty sure we will get either an annual "Congo Gorilla" or another Congo-native animal in a series. This kind of gives it away:
1. Quality Mint 2. Government Issued 3. Beautiful Detailed Design (both obverse and reverse) 4. Proof Like! 5. Limited Mintage (50,000) 6. Inaugural Year These are going to blowup. Source: Source:
