The obverse design of the 2024 17.5 Gram Proof Colorized Silver Edvard Munch Coin features the official coat of arms of Cameroon. This includes two large battle axes placed behind a spade-shaped shield. On the shield, there’s a scale with a single star above the center, representing justice and unity.

On the reverse of the 2024 Proof Colorized Cameroon Silver Edvard Munch Coin, you’ll see a vivid image of Munch’s “Anxiety” painting. This emotional scene shows a group of ghostly, hollow-faced figures set against a fiery red sky and dark waters. The expressions on their faces reflect deep fear and tension, as Munch expresses a shared sense of worry felt during the modern era. His personal battles with mental health are reflected in this powerful visual.

What makes “Anxiety” stand out is Munch’s skillful use of color and perspective to create an unsettling mood. These artistic choices were central to the Expressionist movement, which focused more on feelings than realistic images. Munch once said, “I paint not what I see, but what I saw,” and this work is a clear example of that idea.

Each of these 2024 17.5 Gram Proof Colorized Cameroon Silver Edvard Munch Coins comes in its own presentation box and includes a Certificate of Authenticity. The coin features a colorized image of “Anxiety” on the reverse and a polished proof finish that highlights the fine details.
