Cameroon 1000 francs World Cup Football Kaliningrad proof silver coin 2018

The Cameroon 1000 Francs CFA World Cup Football Kaliningrad coin, issued in 2018, is an elegant silver Proof commemorative celebrating the FIFA World Cup hosted in Russia and one of its distinctive host cities — Kaliningrad. This coin blends the universal excitement of football with local architectural identity, captured through refined engraving and a mirror-like Proof surface.

The reverse features a single football player in dynamic motion, captured while dribbling the ball. His posture conveys speed and focus: a forward-leaning body, bent knees, detailed sportswear, textured football boots, and a patterned ball beneath his foot. Behind the athlete appears a stylized outline of Russia’s map. To the left, the inscription “Kaliningrad” is shown in both Cyrillic and Latin scripts, accompanied by an architectural landmark with towers, gabled roofs, arched windows, and layered masonry details. The inscription “Russia 2018” firmly links the design to the historic World Cup tournament.

The obverse presents the coat of arms of the Republic of Cameroon, featuring a central shield with scales of justice, crossed fasces behind it, and a star above. Surrounding inscriptions include “Republique du Cameroun,” the denomination “1000 Francs CFA,” and the national motto, all set against a polished Proof background.

Struck in silver with Proof quality, this coin forms part of a global sports-themed series dedicated to World Cup host cities. It is a compelling collectible combining football heritage, city symbolism, and fine minting craftsmanship.
