Cameroon – 2025 – 2000 Francs – Robin of the Hood 2oz silver (Sherwood series)

Description

The Robin of the Hood 2024 2 oz Silver Coin marks the debut release in the captivating Sherwood series, bringing to life the legendary outlaw’s daring exploits in exquisite detail. Struck from 2 ounces of 99.99% pure silver in high relief with an antiqued finish, this limited-edition piece (just 300 minted worldwide) immerses the viewer in the heart of Robin’s world. The reverse captures Robin mid-leap, bow drawn, poised to strike, set against an autumnal Sherwood Forest where embossed golden leaves add warmth and drama. Soldiers scramble to react, but Robin holds the advantage, backed by loyal companions like Little John, who aims from a perch above. The obverse presents the symbol of Prince John’s tyranny—a tax cart escorted by knights toward a distant castle—along the same road Robin’s band often raids to return wealth to the poor. In the foreground, an ancient tree bears a “WANTED” poster for Robin, a carved declaration of love for Lady Marian, and the coat of arms of Cameroon alongside the face value and year. With its masterful storytelling, selective gold plating, and vivid colouring, this coin is a fitting tribute to the folk hero’s courage, cunning, and enduring legend.
