Cameroon 500 francs Painter Beccafumi Holy Family Art PR70 PCGS silver coin 2018

The Cameroon 500 Francs CFA “Holy Family” silver coin (2018) is a refined numismatic tribute to Renaissance sacred art, inspired by the masterpiece Holy Family by Domenico Beccafumi, one of the most expressive painters of the Italian Mannerist school. Issued by the Republic of Cameroon, this coin unites classical religious symbolism with modern minting excellence.

The reverse features a finely colorized reproduction of the Holy Family: the Virgin Mary gently holding the Christ Child, with Saint Joseph nearby, forming an intimate and harmonious composition. Mary is shown in rich blue and warm red garments, the Child rendered with delicate natural tones, while Joseph appears in shadowed hues, emphasizing depth and spiritual focus. The scene is framed by an ornate gilded floral and scrollwork border, enhancing the icon-like character of the artwork and adding a sense of reverence and luxury.

The obverse displays the national coat of arms of Cameroon with scales of justice, crossed fasces, star, shield, and banners, surrounded by the inscriptions “République du Cameroun,” the year 2018, and the denomination 500 Francs CFA. The mirror-like Proof finish and selective gilding elevate the visual impact of both sides.

Struck in silver and certified PCGS PR70 DCAM, this coin represents absolute minting perfection. It is part of an acclaimed art-themed series and appeals to collectors of fine art, religious symbolism, and high-grade certified coins.
