| Beschrijving keerzijde | Full-color reproduction of the celebrated devotional painting Madonna in Prayer by Giovanni Battista Salvi da Sassoferrato (c. 1640–1650), depicting the Virgin Mary with downcast eyes, hands folded in prayer, draped in a deep blue mantle over a red robe, set against a dark ground. The image faithfully renders the intimate piety and luminous palette characteristic of Sassoferrato's Marian works. Christian symbols, including a cross and related iconographic motifs, are depicted at the left side of the composition. The colored artwork is applied to the mirror-like proof field of the coin, creating a striking contrast between the polychrome image and the polished silver surface. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Bank of Central African States issues coinage on behalf of six member nations — Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon — whose monetary union has operated under French oversight since the CFA franc zone was formalized in 1972. This particular 500-franc denomination sits well above face value as a bullion-adjacent collectible, effectively never entering circulation in any of those economies.
KM#266 is part of a broader BEAC program producing silver devotional pieces marketed almost entirely to European and Asian collectors, with negligible domestic distribution across member states.
