Congo 10 francs Wise Men Biblical Magi Caspar Camel proof silver coin ND 2005

The Congo 10 Francs Wise Men Biblical Magi Caspar silver coin is a beautifully crafted commemorative issue inspired by the biblical story of the Three Wise Men. Struck in 2005 as a proof-quality silver coin, it combines religious symbolism with refined artistic detail, making it a meaningful addition to any themed collection.

The obverse presents a powerful and finely detailed image of a lion standing in profile, its mane rendered with deep relief and flowing texture. The animal is positioned on a ground line with stylized vegetation beneath its paws, symbolizing strength and vigilance. Surrounding the design is the inscription “REPUBLIQUE DEMOCRATIQUE DU CONGO”, while the denomination “10 FRANCS” appears clearly along the lower rim. The mirrored background contrasts sharply with the frosted relief, emphasizing the sculptural quality of the lion.

The reverse illustrates Caspar, one of the Biblical Magi, shown walking through a desert landscape. He is dressed in flowing robes and a head covering, holding a gift vessel raised in his hand. A camel rests behind him, equipped with detailed harnesses and decorative elements. In the sky shines a prominent eight-pointed star, surrounded by smaller stars, evoking the Star of Bethlehem. A bare tree, sand textures, and the inscription “CASPAR” complete the scene.

Struck in silver with Proof finish, this coin is part of a religious and biblical-themed program celebrating the Magi. Its artistic depth, symbolic imagery, and polished surfaces make it highly desirable for collectors of religious art, Christmas themes, and world silver coinage.
