Cameroon – 2026 – 1000 Francs – Primavera by Sandro Botticelli (Art Gallery series)

Description

The opening of the second MINT XXI Art Gallery exposition presents Primavera by Sandro Botticelli — one
of the most celebrated allegories of the Renaissance. Here Flora scatters flowers, the Three Graces dance in
diaphanous veils, while Venus presides over a garden alive with beauty and hidden meaning. The garden of
Primavera is astonishing in its detail: hundreds of carefully rendered plants fill the scene, including nearly 190
different species, many portrayed with striking botanical accuracy — a testament to Botticelli’s extraordinary
attention to nature.
Rich in symbolism and poetic mystery, Primavera continues to captivate viewers centuries after its creation.
Today the masterpiece is preserved in the renowned Uffizi Gallery in Florence, where it stands among the
most treasured paintings of the Italian Renaissance.
Struck in 1 oz of .999 fine silver in proof quality and enhanced with vivid digital printing, this coin recreates
Botticelli’s masterpiece in precious metal. Limited to 1,000 pieces worldwide, it allows Botticelli’s eternal
garden of spring to bloom in silver once more.
