Description

The Great Greek Mythology – Ares

(2024 Cameroon 2000 Francs Silver Coin)

Within the pantheon of Greek mythology, Ares stands as the unfiltered embodiment of conflict—unyielding force shaped into divine identity. Mint XXI approaches him not as a figure of spectacle, but as a study in disciplined aggression: armour weighted with authority, posture calibrated for battle, presence defined by the tension between devastation and duty. Struck in 2 oz of .999 silver, the god rises in deep high relief, rendering each contour of metal as if forged by the very heat of war.

The antique finish introduces a subdued, archaeological gravity, while selective gilding draws the eye to the helmet—a symbol of command rather than ornament. Across the 50 mm field, the interplay of shadow and gilded light gives Ares a sculptural immediacy, evoking classical bronze statuary reinterpreted through European minting precision. In hand, the coin feels less like a narrative scene and more like a distilled essence of martial power.
