Silver Ounce 2024 The Punk Universe - Silkpunk, Coin from Cameroon - detailed information

At centre, the obverse of the coin displays the Coat of Arms of the Republic of Cameroon. It features a shield divided in three parts by two diagonal lines starting from the centre of the upper rim. In the central section, an upright sword and scales are superimposed on the outline of the map of the country, above which there is a five-pointed star. Behind the shield, two crossed bundles of rods with axes in the middle (fasces). Around above, the motto PAIX TRAVAIL PATRIE in French; around below, the same in English: PEACE · WORK · FATHERLAND. On a ribbon around below, the name of the country in English: REPUBLIC OF CAMEROON, below which in larger letters the same in French: REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN.

The Coat of Arms is smaller than usual, and is on a decorative background - pixellated below, with ocean waves above, as often depicted in Japanese drawings.

The reverse features the portrait of a woman symbolising a contemporary hybrid of technology and tradition. Her face is adorned with subtle biomechanical elements that are intricately incorporated into the aesthetics of silkpunk - a style drawing inspiration from both ancient inventions and modern technology.

The woman is dressed in traditional attire, emphasizing the connection to Asian cultural heritage, with a classic pagoda and Mount Fuji in the background, further enhancing the Eastern accents. A modern city with futuristic buildings is depicted on the right, providing a contrast to the elements of nature, representing a dynamic balance between the natural world and technology.
