Congo 1000 francs Church Ceremomies Wedding Sacrament proof silver coin 2011

The Congo Republic 1000 Francs “Church Ceremonies – Wedding Sacrament” proof silver coin, issued in 2011, is an impressive numismatic tribute to the sacred Christian mystery of marriage. With a face value of 1000 francs, this coin unites deep spiritual symbolism with refined craftsmanship, making it a meaningful collectible devoted to faith, family, and tradition.

The reverse is richly detailed and filled with ceremonial elements associated with the Orthodox wedding rite. Two elaborately decorated wedding crowns dominate the composition, partially gilded and topped with crosses, symbolizing the spiritual crowning of bride and groom. Below them lies a gilded cross with ornate ends, accompanied by a pair of wedding rings representing eternal union. To the left is a detailed Gospel book with decorative clasps, while to the right a ceremonial cup recalls the shared cup of marriage. Flowing ornamental patterns, sacred textiles, and architectural church elements form a solemn liturgical background. Along the upper rim runs a Cyrillic inscription referring to the sacrament of marriage, while the year “2011” is placed at the bottom.

The obverse displays the coat of arms of the Republic of Congo, with a central shield supported by two elephants, a crown-like emblem above, and a ribbon bearing the national motto. Surrounding legends read “REPUBLIQUE DU CONGO” and “1000 FRANCS CFA.”

Struck in proof silver with selective gilding, this 2011 issue is an exceptional choice for collectors of Christian symbolism, church ceremonies, and meaningful commemorative silver coins.
