Cameroon 25000 francs Rus Baptizing Saints Religion PR67 PCGS silver coin 2016

The Cameroon 25000 Francs silver coin issued in 2016 commemorates the Baptism of Rus, one of the most significant spiritual events in Eastern Christian history. This monumental theme marks the adoption of Christianity in medieval Rus and symbolizes the birth of a shared religious and cultural identity that shaped centuries of tradition. Executed with refined artistry, the coin combines sacred iconography with advanced minting techniques.

The obverse features a richly colorized religious composition with three central holy figures. In the center stands Jesus Christ with a radiant halo, raising one hand in blessing while holding an open Gospel book adorned with inscriptions. To either side are revered saints depicted in traditional robes, each with halos, expressive faces, and carefully detailed garments. Selective gilding highlights halos and sacred elements, enhancing depth and visual contrast against the polished background.

The reverse presents a detailed multi-figure baptism scene rendered in selective gilding. A priest raises a cross above a baptismal font, while surrounding figures in flowing robes observe the sacred ritual. Architectural elements, including church walls and towers, appear in the background, grounding the scene in historical context. Inscriptions around the rim include the event title, the issuing country Republic of Cameroon, the denomination 25000 Francs CFA, and the year 2016.

Struck in silver with Proof quality, featuring colorization and selective gilding, this coin is certified by PCGS with grade PR67 DCAM. A powerful collectible for admirers of religious history, Christian art, and premium modern numismatics.
