Cameroon 1000 francs Year of Rooster Chinese Symbols PR70 PCGS silver coin 2017

The Cameroon 1000 Francs CFA Year of the Rooster coin, issued in 2017, is an outstanding silver Proof commemorative inspired by the Chinese lunar calendar and its deeply rooted symbolic language. This specimen is certified by PCGS in the highest grade PR70 Deep Cameo, representing absolute perfection in strike, surface preservation, and visual contrast. It is a refined fusion of Eastern symbolism and modern numismatic craftsmanship.

The reverse features a dramatically colored rooster in mid-flight, wings fully spread and claws extended, captured in a moment of power and vigilance. The plumage is rendered in rich shades of red, orange, and gold, with finely engraved feathers, flowing tail, raised crest, and sharp beak. Next to the figure appears the gold-toned Chinese character for “Rooster,” set against a darkened circular background that enhances depth and contrast. The dynamic composition symbolizes confidence, courage, protection, and renewal — key traits of the Rooster in Chinese tradition.

The obverse presents a tranquil symbolic scene with stacked smooth stones, slender bamboo stalks, and a circular medallion bearing a yin-yang symbol. Surrounding this composition are Chinese characters accompanied by inscriptions translating their meanings into love, wealth, and longevity. The denomination, country name, and year are engraved along the lower edge. The deep mirrored Proof fields emphasize balance, harmony, and philosophical calm.

Struck in silver and encapsulated by PCGS, this PR70 coin is a premium collectible for lunar series enthusiasts, certified coin collectors, and admirers of Asian symbolism.
