A Story of Faith and Humility

The reverse depicts St. Andrew on the Saltire, the X-shaped cross linked to his martyrdom. His calm expression conveys dignity in the face of sacrifice. Selective gilding highlights both the cross and the ornate background, drawing the eye to every detail. This design reflects his decision to embrace a different form of crucifixion, a choice rooted in humility. As a result, the scene captures both drama and devotion.

Symbolism on the Obverse

The obverse features two thistle flowers woven with the cross, a tribute to St. Andrew’s role as Scotland’s patron saint. Precision engraving, combined with gold-plated accents, creates a regal composition. In addition, inscriptions mark the coin’s weight, purity, and denomination, confirming its legal tender status in Cameroon with a 2000 Francs CFA face value.
