The Cape Verde 200 Escudos silver coin issued in 2019 was created in honor of the Beach Games and celebrates sport, movement, and coastal culture. This modern commemorative issue reflects the active lifestyle and international sporting spirit associated with Praia as a host city, making the coin both dynamic and visually striking.

The obverse presents a stylized composition inspired by athletic competition. At the center is an abstract figure integrated into a geometric structure resembling a sports arena or architectural form. Surrounding the main design are small pictograms representing various sports disciplines, including swimming, athletics, ball sports, sailing, and beach activities. Five stars are positioned along the upper arc, while inscriptions reference Praia, the year 2019, and international sporting participation. The polished black Proof field creates strong contrast with the frosted relief elements.

The reverse features a powerful minimalist depiction of a swimmer in motion, shown in a streamlined freestyle pose cutting through stylized waves. The athlete’s arm, head, and flowing water lines emphasize speed and endurance. Above the swimmer is the denomination “200 ESCUDOS,” while the country name “REPÚBLICA DE CABO VERDE” curves along the upper rim. Decorative stars line the sides, and laurel branches with a small chain motif appear at the bottom, symbolizing achievement and unity.

Struck in silver with Proof finish and certified PCGS PR69, this coin combines modern design, sports symbolism, and excellent preservation, making it an appealing addition to contemporary world coin and sports-themed collections.
