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 a luxurious and symbol-rich tribute to the sacred Christian sacrament of marriage. With a face value of 1000 francs, this coin combines deep spiritual meaning with refined numismatic artistry, making it a standout piece within religious-themed modern issues.

The reverse is densely filled with ceremonial symbols associated with an Orthodox wedding rite. At the center are two richly ornamented wedding crowns, partially gilded, symbolizing the spiritual union of bride and groom before God. Below them lies a gilded cross with decorative ends, accompanied by two wedding rings representing eternal commitment. To the left, a detailed Gospel book rests on an ornate patterned cloth, emphasizing faith and scripture, while to the right a ceremonial cup recalls the shared cup of marriage. Architectural church elements, flowing ornamental patterns, and liturgical décor create a solemn sacred atmosphere. Along the upper rim runs a Cyrillic inscription referring to the wedding sacrament, while the year “2011” appears 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 inscriptions 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.
