    The Cameroon 500 Francs “The Zincirli Madrasa University” proof silver coin, issued in 2017, is a refined tribute to one of the oldest centers of education and Islamic scholarship in Crimea. The coin is dedicated to Zincirli Madrasa, located in Bakhchisarai, a landmark that symbolizes knowledge, faith, and architectural harmony of the Crimean Khanate era.

    The reverse presents a detailed architectural view of the Zincirli Madrasa complex. A long rectangular stone building dominates the scene, with textured masonry walls, narrow windows, and a rhythmic row of small domes crowning the roof. The surrounding rocky cliffs rise behind the structure, emphasizing its integration into the natural landscape. Subtle details such as pathways, small trees, and terrain relief enhance realism. Decorative geometric ornamentation frames the upper field, while Cyrillic inscriptions identify “Bakhchisarai,” “Zincirli Madrasa,” and the founding date “1500,” highlighting its historical importance as an educational institution.

    The obverse features the national coat of arms of Cameroon, with a shield bearing scales of justice, a sword, and a star. Encircling inscriptions include “République du Cameroun,” the motto “Paix – Travail – Patrie,” the year 2017, and the denomination 500 Francs CFA, all set on a brilliant proof background.

    Struck in proof silver, this coin combines architectural heritage, academic history, and fine numismatic craftsmanship, making it an excellent addition for collectors of world culture, education-themed coins, and historic architecture.
