Cerberus 2023 Cameroon 1 oz Silver .999

The central theme of Greek Mythology is the struggle between heroic and tetra-morphic characters. A 32mm coin features Cerberus, a creature of pure chaos, the guardian of the Underworld. It prevents the dead from leaving and the living from entering alive. The coin in high relief conveys its serpentine nature, the pointed tail, the selective gilding of the collar with thorns and snakes instead of hair, which made it impossible for the three-headed dog to pass. Only Hercules managed to capture and bring the guard dog to King Eurystheus to complete the journey to the afterlife.
