Comoros 5000 francs Said Mohamed Cheikh Flowers PF68 NGC silver coin 1976

The Comoros 5000 Francs silver coin dated 1976 is a refined proof issue dedicated to national history and natural symbolism. Struck by the State of Comoros, this coin combines a commemorative portrait with an elegant floral motif, reflecting both political heritage and artistic balance.

The obverse features a frontal portrait of Said Mohamed Cheikh, depicted wearing traditional headwear and formal attire. The facial features are rendered with precision, including the eyes, nose, mouth, and subtle contours of the face. The inscriptions “SAID MOHAMED CHEIKH” curve along the rim, while the dates “1904” and “1970” appear on either side of the portrait, marking his lifespan. The polished background contrasts beautifully with the frosted relief, enhancing the depth of the design.

The reverse presents a graceful floral composition, with a cluster of blooming flowers rising from curved stems. Individual petals, leaves, and veins are finely engraved, creating a soft yet detailed natural scene. Surrounding inscriptions read “ETAT COMORIEN,” the year “1976,” and the denomination “5000 FRANCS.” A clean raised rim frames the design, while the mirrored fields emphasize the sculptural quality of the flowers.

Struck in silver and certified by NGC as PF68 Ultra Cameo, this coin stands out for its strong contrast, careful engraving, and harmonious theme. It is an appealing choice for collectors of proof coinage, African numismatics, and floral or portrait-themed issues.
