Description
The continent of Europe may have been named after her. The mythical tale
of Europa’s abduction by Zeus, depicted on the new Celestial Beauty series
coin, captures the ethereal beauty and timeless allure of their fateful sea
voyage.
As the unparalleled Europa inspired Zeus to assume the form of a majestic
bull, Cameroon harnessed this enchanting narrative to craft a remarkable one
kilogram silver coin. The smallest details of the lovers’ sea voyage are beautifully
conveyed through the high relief technique, accompanied by a host of sea deities.
The hand polishing gives the coin an appearance of glowing from the inside, and
its extremely low mintage makes it especially rare and desirable for collectors.
