This evocative 2 Oz Silver coin is a myth reborn: Leda and the Swan, suspended between beauty, mystery, and divine seduction. Leda rests beside the majestic swan, surrounded by cherubs, flowers, clouds, and flowing crimson drapery. Tender. Dreamlike. Unsettling. The Antique Finish gives the composition the atmosphere of an ancient sculpture brought back to life, while Selective Gilding and vivid colored details illuminate the scene with warmth and sensuality. Classical grace meets mythological desire. Limited mintage of only 333 pieces worldwide!
 
The reverse of this Silver coin depicts Leda embracing a magnificent swan at the heart of an elaborate mythological scene. Her figure emerges with sculptural softness among clouds and sweeping drapery, while winged cherubs surround the pair from both sides and above. To the left, one cherub raises a flaming torch; to the right, another presents a garland of delicate flowers. Selective Gilding highlights ornamental details and golden accents, while rich red fabric, blue and white blossoms, and the swan's vivid beak create dramatic contrast against the aged tones of the Antique Finish. All around, a classical Greek key border frames the composition. At the top of the reverse, the inscription: "LEDA AND THE SWAN" - the name of the mythological scene. The obverse presents a classical architectural composition centered on a columned temple, surrounded by figures in ancient dress and framed by a Greek key border and laurel branches. At the top, the inscriptions: "REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN" - the issuing country, and "2026" - the year of issue. At the bottom, the inscriptions: "2000 FRANCS CFA" - the face value, and "AG999 2 OZ" - the fineness and weight of the Silver coin.
