    The Cameroon 1000 Francs CFA silver coin, 2011, dedicated to the Charaxes Fournierae butterfly, is an expressive numismatic tribute to exotic insect fauna and African biodiversity. Struck in silver with proof-quality surfaces, this issue combines precise relief, rich coloration, and elegant composition, resulting in a visually captivating modern collectible.

    The reverse features a colorized Charaxes Fournierae butterfly displayed frontally with wings fully spread. The wings are rendered in intense red and orange hues with darker brown and black margins, dotted markings, and finely visible vein structures that enhance realism. The butterfly appears slightly raised above the surface, creating depth and shadow. Beneath it unfolds a vivid green floral arrangement, composed of layered leaves and a central blossom that suggest a tropical habitat. Along the upper rim runs the inscription “PAPILLONS EXOTIQUES”, accompanied by a small butterfly symbol, while the year 2011 and the species name are engraved along the lower edge.

    The obverse presents the coat of arms of the Republic of Cameroon against a mirror-like field. At the center is a shield with balanced scales and a vertical sword topped by a star, symbolizing justice, authority, and unity. Surrounding inscriptions name the issuing country and the denomination 1000 francs CFA, arranged in a classic circular format.

    Charaxes Fournierae is prized for its vivid coloration and rarity, making this coin especially attractive to collectors of butterflies, insects, and exotic wildlife themes. Its refined color work and elegant strike make it a standout addition to any modern world silver collection.
