From the Mint:
Legendary Warriors coin series pays tribute to the valiant warriors of past centuries, telling their story with a language of coin art. Being a legal tender of the Republic of Cameroon, the coin is produced in 3 oz of .999 silver. Featuring a Spartan Hoplite in the heat of a battle, this silver coin will impress the audience with its extraordinary high relief details and atmospheric action scene. The Spartan Hoplite rushes towards the danger ignoring the rain of arrows and holding the gilded xiphos. Enhanced with some color, the dramatic battle scene in the background looks literally covered with blood. Richly decorated with Greek motives, the rim encircles the reverse composition, thereby leaves it open and becomes a fully-fledged participant of the story.
