Coin Silver Ounce 2023 World's Wildlife - Ocean Rays The Democratic Republic of the Congo normally uses banknotes for circulation, and does not issue coins in the Congolese Franc currency. However, the country has authorised some foreign mints to issue commemorative and bullion coins under its jurisdiction. Most of them are in standard bullion sizes, including one ounce of silver - such as this coin. This fifth issue in the annual World's Wildlife Series is dedicated to the Ocean Rays (Batoidea). Rays are one of the most majestic sea creatures on earth, with more than 500 different kinds. The flat, disc-shaped fish can not only be found in the sea, but also in rivers and lakes. Rays have unique anatomical features, such as the special type of gill slits that allow them to filter oxygen directly from the water. Among the most famous species are the venomous stingray, the manta ray and the electric ray.
