Djibouti 100 francs Roald Amundsen and His Ship The Fram silver coin 2017

The 2017 Djibouti 100 francs silver coin honors legendary polar explorer Roald Amundsen and his famous exploration vessel Fram, celebrating one of the most remarkable achievements in the history of polar exploration. Amundsen, a Norwegian explorer, became the first person to successfully reach the South Pole in 1911, leading an expedition that relied on careful planning, advanced navigation, and the strength of the purpose-built polar ship Fram.

The reverse of the coin presents a powerful composition combining exploration and maritime history. A detailed portrait of Roald Amundsen appears on the right, showing the determined explorer in profile. Beside him sails the famous expedition ship Fram, depicted with multiple masts, sails, rigging lines, and a sturdy hull cutting through icy waters. The surrounding inscription names the explorer and his ship, while an anchor symbol above reinforces the nautical theme. The denomination 100 Francs is placed below the design.

The obverse features the national emblem of Djibouti framed by a laurel wreath, symbolizing honor and achievement. At the center stands a round shield with radiating pattern, flanked by two hands holding traditional spears. Above the shield shines a five-pointed star, while the inscription identifying the Republic of Djibouti surrounds the design with the date 2017 below, accompanied by the Ag 925 silver mark.

Struck in fine silver with a brilliant Proof finish, this coin is an impressive tribute to exploration, navigation, and maritime history, making it a desirable collectible for enthusiasts of polar expeditions, sailing ships, and world numismatics.
