This amazing 1 ounce .999 pure silver coin is part of Cameroon and Mint21’s massive “Greek Mythology” program. This issue is dedicated to the legendary Sphinx, an enigmatic creature with the body of a lion and the head of a woman, known for her cunning and merciless nature. She famously guarded the city of Thebes by posing a challenging riddle to all who sought passage.
Those unable to solve the riddle faced a fatal outcome.
On the reverse, in fantastic high relief, the Sphinx sits menacingly beside human skulls, the remains of those unlucky enough to pass through the gates. One skull, emphasized with exquisite 24K gilding, serves as a haunting reminder of a traveler who met a tragic fate.

Super low mintage of 500 pieces
