In the obverse design of the 2025 2 oz Antique Silver The Witch Coins, you will find a depiction of the Cameroonian coat of arms. The national seal is set within the central field of the coin, just above a simmering cauldron. Witches are often associated with cauldrons, using the steaming pots to conjure potions.
For the reverse side of 2025 Antique Cameroon Silver The Witch Coins, the mint features the front-facing effigy of a witch. She is shown with a witches hat on her head, pulled down low to cover her eyes. Witches were historically associated with practices that were seen as evil, though a modern lens has reframed some of these practices as simply part of folk magic or traditional medicine.
As organized religions began to take hold, particularly in Europe during the Middle Ages, the perception of magical practices began to shift. The Christian Church, in particular, began to view any form of magic or divination as heretical. This led to the development of the concept of witchcraft as a malevolent force, associated with devil worship and harmful magic. This shift in perception would have dire consequences in the centuries to come.
These 2025 2 oz Antique Cameroon Silver The Witch Coins are available with a presentation case. The box the coin ships in comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. Each coin has an antique enamel on both sides, with a glow-in-the-dark effect on the reverse that fills the scene behind the witch’s head with an eerie glow.
