CAPOEIRA Rebel Time 2 Oz Silver Coin 2000 Francs Cameroon 2023

The reverse of the coin depicts a scene of Capoeira, originated in Brazil during the 16th century when African slaves were brought to the country to work on plantations. The slaves were prohibited from practicing their traditional martial arts, so they disguised their training as a dance. Capoeira involves acrobatic movements, especially kicks, which are represented on the reverse. On the design, an Amazonian Ara parrot is selectively colored, being a symbol of freedom. The obverse features the inscriptions: "2000 FRANCS CFA" - the face value, "REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN" - the name of the coin, "AG 999" - the fineness of the precious metal and "2023" - the year of issue.
