Cameroon 2500 francs St Nicholas Wonderworker Church PR70 PCGS silver coin 2016

The Cameroon 2500 Francs silver coin issued in 2016 is a striking commemorative piece dedicated to Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker and the sacred church architecture associated with his name. Combining religious symbolism with masterful engraving, this coin represents a harmonious blend of spiritual heritage and modern numismatic art.

The obverse features a finely colorized icon-style image of Saint Nicholas, shown half-length with a calm, dignified expression. A radiant halo encircles his head, emphasizing his sanctity. He is dressed in traditional episcopal vestments adorned with ornamental patterns, crosses, and decorative borders. One hand is raised in a blessing gesture, while the other holds a sacred book with a detailed cover. To the right of the portrait, a gilded Orthodox cross is prominently displayed, contrasting against the deep mirrored field. Cyrillic inscriptions identify the saint and reinforce the religious theme.

The reverse presents an intricately engraved view of St. Nicholas Cathedral. Architectural details include multiple domes topped with crosses, a tall bell tower, arched windows, layered facades, roof structures, and ornamental elements rendered in sharp relief. Along the rim are inscriptions indicating the year 2016, the issuing country Republic of Cameroon, and the denomination 2500 Francs CFA, while Cyrillic text below names the cathedral.

Struck in silver with a Proof finish, this coin is certified by PCGS with the highest grade PR70 DCAM, confirming a flawless strike and deep cameo contrast. A superb choice for collectors of religious themes, sacred architecture, and premium certified world coins.
