Cameroon 500 francs Da Vinci Art Lady with an Ermine PR69 PCGS silver coin 2017

Issued by Cameroon in 2017, this elegant 500 Francs CFA silver coin pays tribute to one of the greatest geniuses of the Renaissance — Leonardo da Vinci — through one of his most refined masterpieces, Lady with an Ermine. Struck in proof quality and certified PCGS PR69 DCAM, the coin combines numismatic excellence with timeless art.

The obverse features a full-color reproduction of the famous portrait: a noble young woman turned slightly to the side, holding a white ermine in her arms. Fine details such as the delicate facial expression, flowing garments, soft color transitions, and the lifelike animal symbolism reflect Leonardo’s mastery of realism and harmony. The artist’s name appears subtly along the lower edge, enhancing the artistic composition.

The reverse displays the national emblem of the Republic of Cameroon with a central shield, balanced scales, star, crossed fasces, and decorative ribbons. Surrounding inscriptions include the country name, denomination “500 FRANCS CFA,” the year 2017, and the national motto translated as Work, Fatherland, Peace. The mirrored fields and frosted elements create a strong deep cameo contrast.

Struck in silver and preserved in pristine certified condition, this coin belongs to a prestigious art-themed series honoring world cultural heritage. A perfect choice for collectors of fine art, Renaissance history, and high-grade certified world coins.
