Cameroon 1000 francs Defenders of Fatherland colored silver coin 2019

The Cameroon 1000 francs coin “Defenders of the Fatherland”, issued in 2019, is a dynamic commemorative piece dedicated to airborne forces and military aviation. This expressive silver coin captures the courage, precision, and readiness of paratroopers who protect national interests from the skies, symbolizing speed, bravery, and strategic superiority.

The reverse features a dramatic, selectively colored scene. At the center, a paratrooper in full airborne gear is shown mid-descent, arms spread in freefall position, wearing a helmet, goggles, harness, straps, and flight equipment. Below and behind him, bold curved graphic elements create a sense of motion and depth. In the sky above, a military transport aircraft flies across a deep blue background, while a deployed parachute appears to the side, reinforcing the airborne theme. Soft clouds add atmosphere and scale. A Cyrillic inscription arcs along the upper rim, emphasizing the concept of defending the fatherland.

The obverse displays the coat of arms of Cameroon, featuring a shield with scales of justice and a vertical sword, topped by a star and backed by crossed ceremonial axes. Surrounding inscriptions include “Republic of Cameroon”, the year 2019, and the denomination 1000 francs CFA, all rendered in crisp relief against mirrored fields.

Struck in silver with proof quality and enhanced with color application, this coin is an excellent addition for collectors of military aviation, airborne troops, and modern African commemorative issues.
