2023 Cameroon 500 CFA Francs California Gold Rush 175th Anniversary Colorized Antique BU

“Gold! Gold! Gold! From the American River!”

2023 marks the 175th anniversary of one of the most significant events in U.S. history—the California Gold Rush! Making gold top of mind for pretty much every American, the California Gold Rush started with a discovery at Sutter’s Mill on January 24, 1848, followed by a frenzied rush of hundreds of thousands of people west, by land and sea, fueled by the promise of life-altering riches.

Symbolic Images Of The California Gold Rush

Released on behalf of Cameroon, this beautiful 500 Francs legal-tender coin was struck in a 25 grams of copper-nickel (CuNi) and shows a grizzled prospector panning for gold in the foreground while in the background is a colorized depiction of two other fortune-seekers working their claim—a scene symbolic of the rugged nature of the 49ers who scoured the hills of California’s Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. The coin is shaped like a rectangular message board with the words, “GOLD RUSH” engraved at the top and “1848 CALIFORNIA 1855” engraved along the bottom. The coin also comes with a unique antique finish that adds depth and detail to the design and gives it a weathered “wild west” flavor. Antique finishes like this are typically applied by hand, meaning that no two coins in the release are exactly alike! Plus, you’ll also receive a 5-milliliter vial of gold flakes secured in a burlap bag.
