Cameroon 1000 francs Saint Andrew The First Called Icon gilded silver coin 2020

The Cameroon 1000 francs “Saint Andrew the First-Called” coin, issued in 2020, is a richly symbolic religious commemorative inspired by Orthodox iconography and early Christian tradition. Struck in silver with an elegant gilded finish, this coin presents a harmonious blend of sacred art, historical meaning, and refined mint craftsmanship.

The reverse features a vivid icon-style image of Saint Andrew the Apostle, known as the First-Called. He is depicted with a solemn, wise expression, framed by a radiant halo composed of finely detailed ornamental rays. Saint Andrew is shown raising his right hand in a gesture of blessing, while holding a scroll in his left hand, symbolizing apostolic teaching and divine word. His flowing robes are rendered in deep, contrasting colors, set against a polished gilded background that enhances the spiritual depth of the composition. Above and below the portrait are inscriptions identifying Saint Andrew and his revered title, integrated into decorative cartouches.

The obverse displays the coat of arms of Cameroon interpreted in a heraldic style, featuring a double-headed eagle with outspread wings and crossed symbols at the center. Surrounding inscriptions include “Republic of Cameroon,” the year 2020, and the denomination 1000 francs CFA. The mirror-like field and gold-toned surface emphasize the sharp relief and ceremonial character of the design.

Struck in gilded silver and issued as part of a religious-themed series, this coin is an inspiring addition for collectors of sacred art, icons, and world numismatics.
