This beautiful Silver Coin from the Republic of Cameroon highlights the opposite or absence of Good - the EVIL.

The distinction between true and false, good and evil, right and wrong is one of the most common themes in culture. Humans have a deeply ingrained sense that the battle between good and evil exists and that we ourselves are in the midst of this never-ending struggle.

The coin features an incredible design and has a Proof Quality and a selective gilding.
