    The Cameroon 500 Francs “When Will You Marry?” proof silver coin, issued in 2017, is a vivid numismatic homage to one of the most famous and enigmatic works by Paul Gauguin. Inspired by his celebrated Tahitian period, this coin captures the artist’s bold use of color, symbolic depth, and fascination with Polynesian culture and human emotion.

    The reverse features a finely colored reproduction of When Will You Marry? Two Tahitian women dominate the composition, seated against a richly stylized background. In the foreground, a young woman in a red dress with folded arms gazes directly outward, her calm yet questioning expression forming the emotional center of the scene. Behind her sits another woman dressed in warmer orange tones, her posture more reserved, adding contrast and narrative tension. The saturated yellow, red, blue, and green hues reflect Gauguin’s distinctive palette, while simplified forms and strong outlines emphasize symbolism over realism. The inscription “PAUL GAUGUIN” appears at the bottom, clearly identifying the masterpiece.

    The obverse displays the coat of arms of Cameroon with a shield bearing scales of justice, a sword, and a star. Surrounding inscriptions include “République du Cameroun,” the motto “Paix – Travail – Patrie,” the year 2017, and the denomination 500 Francs CFA, all executed in a high-quality proof finish.

    Struck in colored proof silver, this coin is an outstanding choice for collectors of post-impressionist art, museum-inspired numismatics, and expressive world silver issues.
