Cameroon 1000 francs 100th Anniversary of Karelia Flying Goose silver coin 2019

The Cameroon 1000 Francs silver coin issued in 2019 commemorates the 100th Anniversary of Karelia, combining natural symbolism, cultural memory, and refined modern numismatic design. Created for the Republic of Cameroon, this commemorative issue reflects themes of freedom, continuity, and the deep bond between landscape and heritage.

The obverse features a finely sculpted deer shown in calm forward motion. Its slender body, long legs, and branching antlers are rendered in matte silver relief against a dark, textured background that evokes stone, earth, and wilderness. The surrounding mirrored field highlights the animal’s silhouette, while the inscriptions with denomination, country name, and year frame the composition with balance and clarity.

The reverse presents a dynamic flying goose with wings fully extended, captured in elegant relief across a complex multi-layered scene. The design combines colorized natural landscapes with silver architectural outlines, including forest scenery, water reflections, and stylized structures in the background. Subtle transitions between polished silver, frosted details, and vivid color create a sense of depth and motion. The commemorative inscription marking the Karelia centenary unites all elements into a single visual narrative.

Struck in silver with prooflike quality, this coin stands out for its artistic ambition and symbolic richness. It is an excellent addition for collectors of anniversary issues, wildlife motifs, cultural heritage themes, and contemporary world numismatics.
