Cameroon 500 francs Painter Bartolomeo Madonna Art PR69 PCGS silver coin 2018

The Cameroon 500 Francs silver coin (2018) is a refined art issue dedicated to a Renaissance religious masterpiece — “Madonna and Child” by Bartolomeo (Fra Bartolomeo), one of the prominent painters of the Italian High Renaissance. This coin beautifully translates sacred art into numismatics, celebrating themes of motherhood, devotion, and spiritual harmony that defined Bartolomeo’s work.

The reverse features a colorized reproduction of the Madonna tenderly holding the Christ Child. Mary is shown with a gentle, contemplative expression, dressed in rich blue and red garments, while the infant leans affectionately toward her. The background reveals a soft landscape, enhancing the calm and intimate atmosphere. The central image is framed by an elaborate gilded ornamental border filled with floral and classical motifs, adding depth, texture, and a museum-like presentation to the design. Fine details such as facial expressions, folds of fabric, delicate hands, and naturalistic proportions are carefully preserved.

The obverse displays the gold-gilded coat of arms of the Republic of Cameroon with scales of justice on a shield, surrounded by the inscriptions “République du Cameroun,” the year 2018, and the denomination 500 Francs CFA, along with the national motto “Paix – Travail – Patrie.”

Struck in silver with selective gilding and certified PCGS PR69 DCAM, this coin is an elegant fusion of faith, art, and numismatic excellence — ideal for collectors of Renaissance art and sacred themes.
