Cameroon – 2026 – 1000 Francs – The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci (Art Gallery series)

Description

The next coin of the new MINT XXI Art Gallery exposition unveils The Last Supper by Leonardo
da Vinci — a monumental scene that helped define the very language of Western painting. Christ
and the twelve apostles sit at a long table at the moment of dramatic revelation, their gestures and
expressions alive with shock, denial, and devotion.
Completed in the late 15th century on the wall of a Milanese monastery, The Last Supper is a triumph
of composition, perspective, and psychological depth — a work that transformed a biblical narrative
into one of the most studied and iconic images in the history of art.
Struck in 1 oz of .999 fine silver in proof quality and enhanced with vivid digital printing, the coin
recreates Leonardo’s masterpiece in remarkable detail on precious metal.
Limited to just 1,000 pieces worldwide, it joins Botticelli’s Primavera to unite two titans of the Italian
Renaissance in silver.
