Ivory Coast 1500 francs Pharos Lighthouse of Alexandria proof silver coin 2010

The 2010 Ivory Coast 1500 Francs CFA Pharos of Alexandria silver coin celebrates one of the legendary Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Struck in silver with an elegant Proof finish, this issue pays tribute to the famous lighthouse that guided ships safely into the harbor of ancient Alexandria and became a lasting symbol of engineering brilliance. The reverse depicts the towering Pharos Lighthouse, rising from a massive stone base with its multi-tiered structure, windows, decorative corner statues, domed lantern, beacon at the summit, rocky shoreline, rolling sea waves, and a classical sailing vessel navigating the harbor below. The surrounding inscription, stars, and the date 2010 complete the historic composition. The obverse features the coat of arms of the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire with an elephant head inside a shield, a radiant rising sun, two palm trees, decorative banners, the country name, and the 1500 Francs CFA denomination. Built during the Ptolemaic era, the Pharos of Alexandria stood for centuries as one of humanity's greatest architectural achievements and an enduring landmark of ancient maritime history. This beautifully crafted Proof silver coin is an excellent addition for collectors of ancient wonders, historic architecture, and world numismatics.
