Beschrijving voorzijde The Gabonese national coat of arms is depicted centrally in the field, featuring a quartered escutcheon with three roundels in the upper section and a sailing ship in the lower section, supported by two confronted black panthers rampant. Above the shield, a stylized okoume tree flanked by olive branches serves as a crest, while a scroll at the base bears the national motto UNION JUSTICE TRAVAIL and a central banner inscribed TRAVAIL. The legend REPUBLIQUE GABONAISE arcs along the upper periphery in Latin characters, and the denomination 1000 FRANCS CFA is inscribed along the lower rim.

Aanvullende informatie

This piece belongs to a broader genre of African-issued art coins produced not for domestic circulation but almost entirely for the European collector market — a trade that accelerated sharply after 2010 as mint contractors sought new licensing arrangements with smaller francophone nations. Gabon's participation in these programs is purely commercial; the CFA franc itself is managed by the Banque des États de l'Afrique Centrale, and Gabon exercises no independent monetary policy that would motivate a domestic commemorative program of this kind.

The Van Gogh licensing angle is the commercial engine here. Painted in Auvers-sur-Oise in July 1890, within weeks of the artist's death.
