Cameroon 1000 francs Weapon of Victory Katyusha colored silver coin 2020

The Cameroon 1000 Francs “Weapon of Victory – Katyusha” colored silver coin, issued in 2020, is a striking commemorative piece dedicated to one of the most iconic symbols of industrial strength and wartime determination of the 20th century. Bearing a denomination of 1000 francs CFA, this coin translates historical memory into powerful numismatic art, combining symbolism, technology, and human effort.

The reverse features the legendary Katyusha multiple rocket launcher mounted on a military truck, shown in strong relief against a dramatic red star background.
