Robin of the Hood 2024 Cameroon 1oz Antique Finish Coin

The reverse depicts the main character of this legend, Robin of the Woods, captured mid-leap as he draws his bow, ready to shoot. In front of him, a group of soldiers tries to react, but the tension is evident: Robin has the upper hand. The composition is carefully balanced between narrative and aesthetic.

On the obverse, in the background, is depicted the symbol of Prince John’s oppression of his people: the tax collection cart, pulled by two horses and escorted by several of John’s knights, heading toward the castle visible in the distance along the winding road that cuts through Sherwood Forest. Along this route, Robin of the Hood and his companions often ambush the caravan to steal all the coins and return them to the poor villagers. In the foreground, there is a large trunk of an old tree with a “WANTED” poster offering a reward of 10,000 pounds for the capture of the outlaw Robin of the Hood, dead or alive. Also visible is a knife-carved engraving made by Robin himself, immortalizing his love for Lady Marian. Finally, the coat of arms of the Republic of Cameroon, the face value, and the year of issue.

This coin has a mintage of only 250 pieces worldwide and comes in a premium box with a metallic finish, embossed elements and shiny elements, with a black velvet interior.
