Cameroon 2500 francs St Panteleimon Church Architecture PR70 PCGS Ag coin 2016

The Cameroon 2500 Francs silver coin issued in 2016 is an impressive commemorative release dedicated to Saint Panteleimon the Great Martyr, revered in Christian tradition as a healer and protector, and to church architecture bearing his name. This coin unites spiritual symbolism, iconographic artistry, and refined modern minting in a single collectible piece.

The obverse presents a vivid colorized icon-style portrait of Saint Panteleimon. He is shown front-facing with a calm, youthful expression and a radiant halo encircling his head. The saint wears traditional robes in deep red and green tones, symbolizing martyrdom and faith. One hand is raised toward his chest, while the other holds a small box associated with healing. To the upper right appears a gilded Orthodox crucifix, sharply contrasting with the dark mirrored background. Cyrillic inscriptions identify the saint, reinforcing the religious character of the design.

The reverse features a finely engraved depiction of St. Panteleimon Cathedral. The composition highlights a central tower, tiered architectural volumes, arched windows, stairways, decorative masonry, and balanced structural symmetry. Along the rim are inscriptions indicating the year 2016, the issuing country Republic of Cameroon, and the denomination 2500 Francs CFA. Additional Cyrillic text below names the cathedral.

Struck in silver with a Proof finish, this coin is certified by PCGS with the top grade PR70 DCAM, confirming perfect preservation and deep cameo contrast. A compelling choice for collectors of religious themes, sacred architecture, and premium certified world coins.
