2022 Cameroon Slavic Bestiary Francs Domovik 3oz Silver Antiqued Coin

The second coin from the extremely interesting “Slavic Beastiary” series.

The coin was minted from 3 ounces of pure silver with a total weight of 93.3 grams. The reverse of the coin shows a kabbalistic image of a Domowik emerging from inside the cottage. There are everyday tools around the character. A color print has been applied to the background, thanks to which the silvery figure of the Domowik contrasts wonderfully with the background. The coin has also been refined with a colored resin with glitter and selective gold plating on the coin and series name.

The obverse of the coin is rich in mystical details related to flora and fauna. It also features the issuer’s coat of arms, the year of issue, the denomination and the silver sample.

In Slavic mythology, Domowik was a being who inhabited and guarded the house. It was also believed that these were the ghosts of deceased family members who stayed in human company to look after the fire. He was pictured as a small, stale figure, walking around the farm at night in threadbare and worn out clothes. Domowik was treated as a family member, so he had to leave food, but neglected and forgotten he took revenge on his hosts.
