Description

The Nine Muses – Terpsichore & Euterpe (2025 Cameroon 2000 Francs Silver Coin)

Forged at the meeting point of classical mythology and contemporary minting, the Terpsichore & Euterpe edition from The Nine Muses series interprets artistic origin through precious metal. Mint XXI frames the two muses not as illustration, but as presence—Terpsichore shaping rhythm through movement, Euterpe holding the quiet pulse of lyrical sound. Their figures rise from the silver in high relief, the antique finish and digital accents producing a mosaic-like depth that echoes ancient Hellenic artistry.

Struck in 62.2 g of .999 silver and composed on a 50 mm field, the coin reveals a controlled interplay of gilding, texture, and sculptural contour. Each element is deliberate: the poised gesture of dance, the contemplative line of music, the subtle chromatic shifts that give the scene its contemplative calm. In hand, it feels less like a commemorative issue and more like a curated artefact—a distilled expression of European mint craftsmanship and cultural continuity.

Limited to a global mintage of just 500 pieces, the piece offers both narrative resonance and investment logic. Its purity, technical execution, and scarcity place it firmly within the realm of long-term collectible silver, while Afzina Silver’s curation ensures authenticity, original presentation, and assured provenance.

A coin crafted for collectors who regard mythology not as embellishment, but as an elevated form of permanence.
