    The Congo 1000 Francs Seafaring – Portuguese Merchant Ships silver coin (2002) is a refined commemorative issue dedicated to the great maritime traditions of Portugal and the era of oceanic trade that shaped global history. Issued by the Republic of Congo, this coin highlights the importance of Portuguese merchant fleets during the Age of Discovery and early international commerce.

    The reverse depicts a detailed Portuguese merchant sailing ship in motion across stylized waves. The vessel features a long hull, raised forecastle and sterncastle, tall masts, complex rigging, ropes, banners, and multiple sails, including a sail marked with a cross motif associated with Portuguese seafaring heritage. A small flag flies from the mast, and fine engravings emphasize the planking, deck structures, and movement of the sea. The inscription “GALEACA PORTUGUESA DA INDIA” arches above the scene, with the date 2002 placed below.

    The obverse carries the standard emblematic design of the Republic of Congo, showing a seated female figure in traditional attire holding a heart-shaped tablet bearing the national motto “UNITE TRAVAIL PROGRES.” The mirrored field is framed by the legends “REPUBLIQUE DU CONGO” and the denomination 1000 FRANCS.

    Struck in silver with a proof finish, this coin forms part of a seafaring-themed series honoring historic ships and maritime trade. Its crisp relief, historical symbolism, and elegant composition make it a compelling choice for collectors of nautical history and world silver coinage.
