Monkeys in the Jungle Henri Rousseau 17.5 g 500 CFA Francs Silver Coin Cameroon 2026

Wild nature and exotic imagination in pure silver

Although Henri Rousseau never travelled to exotic lands, he created tropical worlds alive with mystery and imagination. His jungles were born from visits to the Paris botanical garden, engravings and his own fantasy. In “Monkeys in the Jungle”, animals emerge among monumental leaves and exotic flowers, gazing curiously out at the viewer. Simplified forms, flat planes of colour and the extraordinary rhythm of the plants blur the line between dream and reality.

“When… I see strange plants from exotic lands, it seems to me that I am entering a dream.” – Henri Rousseau

Coin design

The reverse reproduces the painting in full colour: a tall palm, dense grasses and leaves, orange fruit and two monkeys – one climbing a branch, the other sitting in the undergrowth and looking straight at us. The artist's signature appears in the corner. High-quality digital printing brings out the depth of the greenery and the fairytale atmosphere of the work.

The obverse has a modern graphic design: the Mint of Poland logo in the centre, concentric arcs, REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN, the face value 500 CFA, the year 2026 and the fineness Ag 999. Details are made with micro-printing and laser frosting on a mirror background.

A series of seven masterpieces

This is another coin in the series devoted to seven paintings by Rousseau. It follows “The Dream” and “The Football Players” – all in the same rectangular 30 × 47 mm format, so they look beautiful together.

Packaging

The coin comes in an elegant case with an illustrated sleeve and a certificate of authenticity.
