The Great Greek Mythology – Centaur

(2023 Cameroon 1000 Francs Silver Coin)

Between the mountains of Thessaly and the shadowed forests of Arcadia, the centaur emerged as one of antiquity’s most complex beings—part instinct, part intellect, eternally poised between civilization and untamed force. Mint XXI captures this dual nature with a composition that feels carved from myth itself. The centaur rises in pronounced high relief across the 1 oz .999 silver field, his musculature shaped with disciplined precision, his stance charged with the tension of imminent release.

Selective gilding highlights the drawn arrow, transforming a moment of motion into a focal point of intensity. The antique finish deepens the drama, giving the 32 mm surface the tactile gravity of an artefact unearthed from classical terrain. Despite its compact scale, the coin carries the presence of a larger sculpture—wildness refined into form, energy suspended just before impact.

With a mintage limited to only 500 pieces, this edition unites mythic resonance, scarcity, and meticulous craftsmanship. It offers collectors a gateway into the Great Greek Mythology series through a piece that balances narrative power with investment clarity. Afzina Silver ensures authenticated provenance, original presentation, and a seamless acquisition experience.

A coin crafted for those who recognize strength not as chaos, but as controlled wildness.
