Throughout history there exists fear of witches’ knowledge of herbal potions and remedies, their connection with nature and animals and their free-spirited beliefs. Unquestionably, these female magicians owe their bad reputation to the fear of the unknown which has been perfectly captured on this 2 ounce high relief silver coin. Equally to the sorceress, her companion the raven also radiates an eerie aura.
The raven’s pitch-black plumage and its croaking call associate it with death and evil omens while it shares the Eye of Magic with the Witch, connecting the material world with the world of spirits.
These beautiful fine silver coins are issued as legal tender by Cook Islands.
