Description

The Nine Muses – Calliope (2024 Cameroon 2000 Francs Silver Coin)

At the threshold of The Nine Muses collection stands Calliope—eldest, sovereign, and the voice of epic poetry. Mint XXI renders her not as a distant emblem of antiquity, but as a figure shaped by language itself: poised, deliberate, and illuminated by the quiet authority of narrative tradition. Her presence rises in high relief from the 2 oz field of .999 silver, where an antique mosaic effect evokes the fragmented yet enduring surfaces of ancient literary culture.

Across the coin’s 50 mm expanse, digital printing and gilding refine the composition with restrained radiance. Each contour suggests a lineage of storytellers, each gilded accent a reminder of words preserved across centuries. In hand, the piece reveals its sculptural discipline—precise, textural, and unmistakably crafted as an artefact rather than a commemorative token.

Struck in a controlled mintage of just 500 pieces, Calliope’s inaugural issue combines thematic gravity with investment clarity. Its purity, European mint craftsmanship, and limited global availability position it as a considered acquisition for collectors who value cultural depth as much as material rarity. Afzina Silver ensures authenticated provenance, original presentation, and the assurance of curated selection.

A coin crafted for those who regard eloquence not merely as art, but as legacy.
