2000 Francs CFA Ten Commandments of Moses

Cameroon's monetary authority — the Banque des États de l'Afrique Centrale — has issued commemorative silver since the 1990s largely as a foreign-exchange vehicle, with the coins having no meaningful circulation within BEAC member states. This piece is part of a long-running series of Biblical and religious themes marketed almost exclusively to European and North American collector markets, bearing legal tender face values that bear no relationship to the silver content or sale price.

The issuing nation has no particular historical or cultural connection to the subject matter.
