THE LEGEND OF THE SCARECROW
2 oz Fine Silver Coin – République du Cameroun – 2,000 Francs 
 
The 'Scarecrow' coin is more than a stunning piece of art; it tells a haunting tale designed to captivate and terrify.
 
Once upon a time, in a remote village shrouded in mystery, there was a field plagued by crows. The villagers, desperate to protect their crops, crafted a scarecrow unlike any other. They used old clothes, bits of bone, and a carved pumpkin head. But it was the ancient spell whispered by the village elder that brought it to life.
 
The Haunting Presence
Every night, the scarecrow would come alive, its eyes glowing an eerie green. The once static figure now moved silently through the fields, its skeletal frame casting long, twisted shadows in the moonlight. It would stalk through the crops, its presence warding off not just birds, but any who dared approach the fields after dark. The villagers swore they could hear its ragged breath and the rustle of its tattered clothes even when the wind was still.
 
The Fearsome Guardian
This scarecrow was no ordinary guardian. It was rumored to be possessed by the spirit of a vengeful farmer who had been wronged by the village long ago. The scarecrow’s purpose wasn’t just to protect the crops but to exact its silent revenge by instilling fear. Anyone who ventured too close would be met with the sight of its glowing eyes and the unsettling sense that it was watching, waiting.
 
The Efficacy of Fear
The 'Scarecrow' coin captures this terrifying legend in its intricate design. The glowing eyes on the obverse evoke the haunting presence that once kept the fields safe. The reverse, with its sinister grin and tattered clothing, showcases the malevolent spirit that lurked within. The contrast between the dark silver and highlighted elements draws attention to the eerie details, making it a piece that is not just seen but felt.
