Burundi 5000 francs Savoia-Marchetti Plane Aviation PR70 PCGS silver coin 2015

The Burundi 5000 Francs 2015 silver coin is part of the prestigious History of Aviation series and is dedicated to the Italian aircraft Savoia-Marchetti SM.79, one of the most recognizable multi-role planes of the pre-war and World War II era. Issued by the Republic of Burundi with a denomination of five thousand francs, this coin combines aviation heritage with refined modern numismatic craftsmanship.

The reverse features a detailed colored depiction of the Savoia-Marchetti SM.79 flying above a textured, cloud-like background. The aircraft is shown with its distinctive tri-engine configuration, propellers, elongated fuselage, glazed cockpit, wings, tail surfaces, camouflage pattern, and national roundels. Beneath the plane is the inscription “SAVOIA-MARCHETTI SM.79,” while the lower arc carries “HISTORY OF AVIATION,” a stylized aviation emblem, and a surrounding ring of precise radial markers framing the composition.

The obverse presents the emblem of Burundi dominated by a powerful lion’s head in high relief. Around it are the inscriptions “REPUBLIC OF BURUNDI” and the year 2015, along with a curved banner bearing the national motto. The mirror-like background contrasts elegantly with frosted relief elements.

Struck in silver with a flawless Deep Cameo Proof finish, this coin is certified PCGS PR70 DCAM, representing absolute perfection. A superb addition for collectors of aviation history, classic aircraft, and top-grade certified world silver coins.
