Cape Verde 10 Escudos, 1985 — 10th Anniversary of Independence, Silver Proof, PCGS PR68 DCAM

This commemorative silver coin issued by Cape Verde in 1985 celebrates the 10th anniversary of national independence (1975–1985) — a defining milestone in the country’s modern history. Struck in proof quality and certified PCGS PR68 DCAM, the coin displays deep mirrored fields and frosted relief, preserved in an official PCGS holder.

The reverse features a powerful modernist composition with the inscription “DECIMO ANIVERSARIO”, a five-pointed star, and a stylized emblem combining geometric lines and a circular motif. The design incorporates the name “Cabo Verde”, the dates 1975 – 1985, and fine linear textures that emphasize progress, unity, and statehood. The structured background and crisp engraving highlight the symbolic language of independence-era design.

The obverse bears the national inscription “REPUBLICA DE CABO VERDE”, the denomination 10 ESCUDOS CABOVERDIANOS, and the date 1985. At the center is the national coat of arms, framed by laurel branches, a star, shield, and symbolic elements representing sovereignty and collective identity. A beaded rim surrounds both sides, adding classical balance to the modern theme.

Struck in silver and preserved in exceptional proof condition, this coin is an important historical and numismatic artifact from West Africa, ideal for collectors of independence issues, African silver coinage, and PCGS-certified proofs.
