Cameroon – 2025 – 2000 Francs – Neo Manticore 2oz silver

Description

The Neo Manticore coin captures the essence of a legendary creature reimagined for a modern era, blending mythical allure with fierce elegance. On the obverse, the Neo Manticore’s lion face, framed by a wild mane, exudes raw power, while chains encircle the creature, symbolizing the balance between captivity and freedom. The gold plating against the antique finish accentuates this tension, evoking thoughts of controlled ferocity. The reverse showcases the Neo Manticore in full form, with muscular wings spread wide, ready to take flight. Its gold-foiled wings gleam against a rocky backdrop, representing both majesty and destruction. Originating from Persian mythology, the traditional Manticore was a fearsome beast, blending human, lion, and venomous elements. The Neo iteration evolves this creature into a symbol of duality—protective yet powerful, embodying restraint alongside primal strength. With a limited mintage of just 199 pieces, this 2 oz silver coin is a collector’s item, symbolizing resilience, transformation, and untamed spirit.
