2025 Cameroon Neo Manticore 2 oz Silver coin mintage of 199. Obverse: The Neo Manticore is a masterpiece of mythical allure and fierce elegance, depicted in striking relief. Its majestic lion’s face, framed by a wild mane, exudes strength and power, with intricate detailing that brings out every sinew and whisker. Encircling the Neo Manticore are chains, symbolizing its bound power and the untamed nature it embodies. The dynamic use of gold plating against the antique finish highlights the interplay of freedom and captivity, inviting the viewer to ponder the balance of ferocity and restraint. Reverse: The reverse showcases the Neo Manticore in its full, magnificent form – a muscular, humanoid figure with lion features and wings spread wide, poised to take flight from a rocky terrain. The gold-foiled wings gleam against the matte background, reflecting both the creature’s grandeur and its potential for destruction. This side of the coin captures the essence of the mythological beast: a guardian and a terror, a being caught between the realms of man and monster. With a mintage of just 199 pieces, this 2 oz pure silver coin is a true collector’s item, embodying the spirit of the mythical Neo Manticore. The Manticore is a creature steeped in legend, originating from the annals of Persian mythology and carried through the ages as a symbol of unbridled strength and mystique. Traditionally depicted as a fearsome beast with the body of a lion, a human face, and a venomous tail, the Manticore was believed to be an indomitable predator, embodying the terror and awe of the untamed wild. It was said to roam the lands with an insatiable hunger, a living paradox of beauty and danger. The term Neo signifies a rebirth, a reimagining of this legendary creature for a new era. The Neo Manticore is not merely a guardian of ancient myths but a symbol of the primal forces that continue to resonate within modern times. It embodies the duality of our nature – the instinct to protect and the capacity to unleash formidable power. In this reimagined form, the Neo Manticore sheds its purely bestial past to become a complex entity, one that represents both the civilized mind and the untamed spirit.
