Product Overview
This low-mintage sterling-silver coin is dedicated to the protection of unique wildlife, and features the red colobus monkey. The design features a monkey crouched, holding onto a branch, with selective colour foliage in the background. The weighs about two-thirds of an ounce, is dated 2013, and has a legal tender value of 1,000 francs in the Central African Republic.
Red colobus monkeys use their long tails for balance while they swing through the treetops on the lookout for food in the form of leaves or fruit. They live in tropical forest habitats, where they live in large groups of up to 50. The group constellations are somewhat fluid with individual monkeys moving between groups, especially in their adolescence. Thus, not all individuals in a group are directly related to each other. Females usually outnumber the larger males, which can weigh up to 11 kilograms, but young males occasionally form small bachelor groups. A strong dominance hierarchy within each group determines access to the best food.
