    The Congo 1000 Francs silver coin issued in 2006 is dedicated to the legendary sailing ship Christian Radich, one of the most famous training clippers of the 20th century. This issue celebrates maritime heritage, seafaring tradition, and the romance of classical sail. Struck for the Republic of the Congo, the coin is certified by PCGS in the highest possible grade PR70 DCAM, highlighting flawless preservation and exceptional visual contrast.

    The reverse features a highly detailed depiction of the full-rigged ship Christian Radich sailing across stylized waves. The complex rigging, tall masts, billowing sails, and hull details are rendered with remarkable precision, creating a strong sense of motion and scale. Above the ship appears the inscription “Grand Voilier Christian Radich,” while the dates “1937–2006” are placed below, marking the vessel’s years of service. Small cloud elements in the sky add depth and balance to the maritime composition, set against deep mirrored proof fields.

    The obverse displays the coat of arms of the Republic of the Congo, with a central shield supported by two elephants, a crowned crest above, and a banner bearing the national motto “Unité Travail Progrès.” Surrounding legends include “République du Congo” and the denomination “1000 Francs CFA.”

    Struck in silver with deep cameo proof finish and graded PCGS PR70 DCAM, this coin is a premium collectible for enthusiasts of ships, nautical history, and elite modern world numismatics.
