The Congo 1000 Francs silver coin issued in 2013 is dedicated to the Cathedral of the Annunciation in Kazan, one of the most important Orthodox architectural monuments and a symbol of spiritual heritage. Struck in proof quality silver and certified PCGS PR67 DCAM, this coin combines religious significance with refined modern numismatic craftsmanship.

The reverse features a detailed and partially colorized depiction of the Cathedral of the Annunciation, shown with its distinctive white walls and elegant onion domes topped with Orthodox crosses. The central dome is highlighted in gold tones, while the surrounding domes are rendered in deep blue, creating a striking visual contrast against the mirrored background. In the foreground appear sculptural figures in relief, adding a historical and devotional atmosphere to the scene. Along the upper rim is the Cyrillic inscription “БЛАГОВЕЩЕНСКИЙ СОБОР,” identifying the cathedral. The proof surface enhances the architectural lines and decorative details of the design.

The obverse displays the official elements of the issuing authority, with the inscription “REPUBLIQUE DU CONGO” and the denomination “1000 FRANCS CFA.” Below are the year “2013,” the silver fineness mark “Ag 925,” and a heraldic shield featuring a winged griffin, symbolizing strength and tradition. The balanced layout and deep mirror fields emphasize the coin’s premium quality.

This certified proof silver coin stands out for its religious theme, architectural beauty, and artistic detail, making it an excellent addition to collections focused on cathedrals, Christianity, and world commemorative issues.
