Comoros 5000 francs Said Mohamed Cheikh KM-10 Flower PF 64 NGC silver coin 1976

The Comoros 5000 Francs silver coin dated 1976 is a proof issue from the early period of the Comorian state, combining a commemorative portrait with refined botanical symbolism. This coin reflects both national history and artistic expression, characteristic of high-quality proof coinage of the era.

The obverse features a frontal portrait of Said Mohamed Cheikh, depicted wearing traditional headwear, glasses, and formal attire with a tie. The facial features are carefully modeled, showing the eyes, nose, mouth, and subtle expression lines with restrained relief. The inscription “SAID MOHAMED CHEIKH” curves around the upper edge, while the dates “1904” and “1970” appear on either side of the portrait, marking his lifespan. The background displays reflective proof fields that contrast with the softly frosted portrait, enclosed by a raised rim.

The reverse presents a detailed floral composition consisting of blooming flowers, elongated petals, leaves, and curved stems arranged diagonally across the field. The engraving emphasizes texture and layering within the plant forms. Surrounding inscriptions read “ETAT COMORIEN,” the year “1976,” and the denomination “5000 FRANCS.” Light natural toning and surface speckling are visible, consistent with proof coins of this age.

Struck in silver and certified by NGC as PF64, this coin is cataloged as KM-10. Its combination of portraiture, floral design, and historical context makes it an attractive piece for collectors of African proof coinage and commemorative issues.
