Cameroon 100 francs Pope John Paul II PR69 PCGS silverplated CuNi coin 2011

The Cameroon 100 Francs commemorative coin, issued in 2011, honors Pope John Paul II and reflects the global religious significance of his life and legacy. Struck in silverplated copper-nickel and certified PCGS PR69, this distinctive coin is executed in a bold cross-shaped format, reinforcing its spiritual symbolism.

The obverse features a full-length depiction of Pope John Paul II with raised arms in a gesture of blessing. His papal vestments are partially colorized, highlighting the white robe, red cloak, and gold cross at the chest. The figure is rendered in high relief against a textured background, with a crucifix scene engraved on the right arm of the cross. Inscriptions include “JEAN PAUL II” at the top, the year “2011,” and the vertical legend “RÉCONCILIATION DES RELIGIONS.” Along the left arm appears the inscription “MEA CULPA 12 MARS 2000,” referencing the Pope’s historic act of repentance and call for interfaith reconciliation.

The reverse displays the national emblem of Cameroon within a circular recessed field. The shield with scales symbolizes justice, surmounted by the national motto “PAIX · TRAVAIL · PATRIE.” Surrounding inscriptions read “REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN,” with the denomination “100 FRANCS” and currency “CFA” placed on the arms of the cross. The textured surfaces and strong relief enhance the medallic character of the piece.

Certified by PCGS in Proof 69 condition, this coin is an impressive collectible for those interested in papal history, religious numismatics, and modern African commemorative issues.
