Cameroon – 2025 – 500 Francs – Partridges (Józef Chełmoński masterpieces)

Description

Chełmoński captured a moment of stillness that heralds movement. A flock
of partridges — close-knit, alert — moves across the snow, as if the world were holding
its breath for a split second. This painting speaks not only of nature, but of attentiveness
and the inevitability of motion. The silver coin featuring this scene evokes an emotion
hidden just beneath the surface — familiar to anyone who knows the feeling of waiting.
