Cameroon 1000 francs Year of the Goat silver coin 2015

The Cameroon 1000 Francs CFA Year of the Goat coin, issued in 2015, is a distinctive silver commemorative inspired by the Chinese lunar calendar and its symbolic animal of harmony and creativity. This issue stands out for its sculptural, almost medallion-like style, combining deep relief with a deliberately aged surface that enhances its artistic and tactile appeal.

The reverse is dominated by a powerful and stylized goat skull with sweeping, curved horns extending across the field. The horns are heavily textured, with visible grooves and ridges, while the skull itself is rendered with a weathered, stone-like surface that creates dramatic contrast against the darker background. Above and around the design runs the inscription “Year of the Goat,” while below appears “Lunar Calendar.” At the center, the inscriptions “2015,” “1 Ounce,” and “.999 Silver” are arranged in a compact block, emphasizing the coin’s place within a modern lunar-themed series. The overall composition evokes strength, endurance, and quiet determination — qualities traditionally associated with the Goat in Chinese culture.

The obverse features the coat of arms of the Republic of Cameroon, with a central shield bearing scales of justice, crossed fasces, and a star above. The national motto appears in French and English, along with “Republique du Cameroun” and the denomination “1000 Francs CFA,” all executed in a matte, antiqued finish that complements the reverse.

Struck in silver, this coin is an expressive collectible for fans of lunar symbolism, bold relief designs, and world commemorative issues.
