2023 Cameroon 2 oz Silver Antique Nikola Tesla

This extraordinary 2023 release from the Republic of Cameroon honors the legacy of Nikola Tesla, marking eighty years since the visionary inventor's passing. Struck from two ounces of 0.999 fine silver, the coin features a specialized antique finish and a highly unusual interactive element. Each piece in this extremely limited run of just 200 coins features a uniquely numbered edge. The reverse of the coin features a detailed portrait of Nikola Tesla holding a neon bulb. In an incredible feat of modern numismatic design, the coin is accompanied by a functional plasma ball. When placed near this device, the neon bulb depicted on the coin actually lights up, bridging the gap between artistic tribute and physical science. On the obverse, the coin displays the official coat of arms of the Republic of Cameroon. Surrounding this central emblem are the inscriptions detailing the issuing country, the face value of 2000 Francs CFA, the 2023 year of issue, and the purity of the silver. The text on the coin also includes Tesla's name along with his lifespan, spanning from 1856 to 1943.
