    The Cameroon 500 Francs “Man in a Red Turban” silver coin, issued in 2017, honors one of the most iconic portraits of Early Netherlandish art created by Jan van Eyck. This proof coin translates a Renaissance masterpiece into a refined numismatic format, blending artistic heritage with modern minting precision.

    The reverse presents a detailed colored reproduction of the famous portrait. The man is shown against a dark background, his face illuminated with striking realism and depth. He wears a voluminous red turban with layered folds, rendered in rich tones that contrast strongly with the subdued backdrop. The direct gaze, finely modeled facial features, and subtle play of light emphasize the painter’s mastery of realism. The artist’s name “Jan van Eyck” is placed along the lower edge, completing the composition with understated elegance.

    The obverse features the coat of arms of Cameroon at the center, including a shield with balanced scales and a sword beneath a star, flanked by crossed fasces. Surrounding inscriptions read REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN and FRANCS CFA, with the denomination 500 and the year 2017 clearly visible. The proof striking highlights frosted relief elements against mirrored fields. Struck in silver and certified by PCGS with the highest grade PR70, this coin represents flawless quality and artistic distinction.

    This piece is an exceptional choice for collectors of classical art, Renaissance portraits, and top-grade certified world silver coins.
