Product Description
SPHINX GREEK MYTHOLOGY 2024 1000 Francs CFA 1 oz Pure Silver High Relief Gilded Coin – Mint XXI – Republic of Cameroon
In Greek mythology, the Sphinx is an enigmatic creature with the body of a lion and the head of a woman, known for her cunning and merciless nature. She famously guarded the city of Thebes, posing a riddle to all who sought passage. Those unable to solve the riddle faced a fatal outcome. On the high-relief design, the Sphinx sits menacingly beside human skulls, the remains of those unlucky enough to pass through the gates. One skull, emphasized with exquisite gilding, serves as a haunting reminder of a traveler who met a tragic fate.
The ‘Sphinx’ coin showcases artistic excellence, embodying mystery and intelligence on a 1 oz silver canvas.
