The impressive design is the personal touch, but the substance is minted precious metal – and that is the real reason to buy.

The design: the Megalodon as ruler of the ancient seas

The obverse depicts the Megalodon, the largest predatory fish in Earth's history. With its jaws wide open and its characteristic teeth arranged in multiple rows, it lunges at a whale – the prey already disappearing into its mouth. Finely chiseled shark skin, a carefully rendered underwater setting, and skillfully placed light and shadow edges give the tiny 11 mm surface an astonishing sense of depth. The inscription reads "MEGALODON," its lifespan "10.3–2.6 MIO YEARS BC," and the year of issue 2025. The reverse bears the national coat of arms with a leopard's head, crossed spear, and elephant tusk, surrounded by the legend "RÉPUBLIQUE DÉMOCRATIQUE DU CONGO" together with the motto "JUSTICE – PAIX – TRAVAIL" and the specification "0.5 g Au 999.9."
