Out Now and Forging Legend in Gold and Silver: The Robin of the Hood Gilded Coin

There is an enduring romantic appeal of Robin Hood. Legend or not, what he stood / stands for is a universal appeal to helping others. The Robin of the Hood 2024 Cameroon 1oz Full Gilding Silver Coin captures the daring spirit of the famed outlaw with a stunning degree of detail and exceptional precious metal craftsmanship.

This coin is a miniature work of art that pays tribute to the tale of a champion who robbed from the rich to give to the poor, and we are truly grateful to offer it here at www.mintcoinshp.com.au - our family business in Hawthorn, Victoria.

Struck by Asturmint and issued as legal tender for the Republic of Cameroon, this coin boasts impeccable specifications, including 1oz of 999.9 pure silver and a large 38.61 mm diameter. Its finish is particularly noteworthy, combining Matte and Proof elements with a distinct Full Gilding treatment that covers the entire coin in gold plating. This dual-metal aesthetic immediately elevates the piece, offering a visual richness that befits the noble, if roguish, subject matter.

The design is meticulously detailed, showcasing a balanced narrative across both faces. The reverse powerfully depicts Robin of the Hood himself, caught mid-leap as he expertly draws his bow—a composition that highlights his legendary agility and defiance against Prince John's soldiers, who are shown struggling to respond. This sense of dynamic tension and narrative depth makes the reverse side a captivating spectacle.

The obverse is equally rich in story. It features the elements of oppression and resistance essential to the legend: a tax collection cart, escorted by knights, winding its way toward a distant castle through Sherwood Forest. In the foreground, there is a fascinating element—an ancient tree trunk bearing a "WANTED" poster, offering a hefty 10,000-pound reward for the outlaw, alongside a knife-carved engraving signifying Robin's love for Lady Marian. This side also presents the Coat of Arms of Cameroon and the 1000 Francs FCA face value.

For Australian collectors, the most compelling factor is its extreme scarcity. With a tiny global mintage of only 250 pieces, this coin is positioned firmly as an ultra-low-mintage collector's item. Presented in a premium box featuring metallic, embossed, and shiny elements, complete with a black velvet interior and Certificate of Authenticity, this piece offers both exclusivity and a spectacular display. The Robin of the Hood Gilded Coin is a rare opportunity to invest in a beautifully executed piece of the world’s folklore, cast in precious metal and destined to be highly sought-after.

This coin will sell out.
