Cameroon 500 francs Lukas Cranach Unequal Couple Art PR69 PCGS silver coin 2017

This elegant Cameroon 500 Francs silver coin (2017) is part of an outstanding art series dedicated to the masterpieces of Lucas Cranach the Elder, one of the most influential painters of the Northern Renaissance. The coin presents the famous painting “Unequal Couple”, a moralizing and symbolic artwork reflecting themes of age, desire, and human nature, rendered here in refined colorized detail.

The reverse features a vivid reproduction of the scene: an elderly man in dark attire leans toward a young woman dressed in richly decorated red garments, her pale face and calm expression contrasting with the man’s sly smile. Fine details such as fabric folds, jewelry, expressive hands, facial features, and subtle shading faithfully echo the original painting’s atmosphere. The inscription “Lucas Cranach” appears beneath the image, reinforcing the artistic attribution.

The obverse displays the national emblem of Cameroon with scales of justice on a shield, flanked by banners bearing the motto “Paix – Travail – Patrie”, along with the inscriptions “République du Cameroun”, the year 2017, and the denomination 500 Francs CFA.

Struck in silver with a deep cameo Proof finish, this coin is certified PCGS PR69 DCAM, confirming its exceptional visual quality and near-perfect condition. A compelling fusion of fine art and numismatics, this piece is ideal for collectors of art-themed coins, Renaissance symbolism, and certified modern issues.
