Cameroon 1000 francs World Cup Football Petersburg proof silver coin 2018

The Cameroon 1000 Francs CFA World Cup Football – Saint Petersburg silver coin, issued in 2018, is a refined numismatic tribute to the FIFA World Cup hosted in Russia and one of its most iconic host cities. Struck in proof silver, this coin combines the passion of global football with elegant architectural and artistic symbolism.

The reverse presents a dynamic football scene: a goalkeeper in full motion dives to save a powerful shot, his body stretched across the goal line with carefully engraved netting behind him. In his hands is a textured football, while beneath the action appears the inscription “RUSSIA 2018.” Above, the skyline of Saint Petersburg unfolds, featuring recognizable classical architecture, domes, and monuments associated with the city, all set against a stylized world map motif. The composition emphasizes movement, tension, and the universal drama of football.

The obverse bears the official coat of arms of the Republic of Cameroon with crossed fasces and scales of justice, encircled by the inscriptions “REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN,” “1000 FRANCS CFA,” and the national motto Peace – Work – Fatherland in multiple languages. Mirror-like proof fields contrast beautifully with frosted relief details.

This coin celebrates not only a historic sporting event but also Saint Petersburg’s cultural prominence on the world stage. An excellent choice for collectors of football memorabilia, World Cup coins, and modern proof silver issues.
