COIN INFORMATION
Durga, the divine mother in Hindu religion, is represented as a woman with a lion, with numerous arms holding various weapons. It stands for creative power, renewal, perseverance and struggle. She has both the power of creation and the power of destruction. Immersed in an orderly, feminine, almost lunar-like universe, she harmoniously envelops the goddess, magnificently enthroned at the center of the composition, around which numerous lotus flowers take shape, a symbol of resilience, a plant that manages to survive even in adversity conditions flourish that remind us that nothing is lost in life and that even in times of trouble, the capacity for rebirth and renewal must prevail.
The coin has a selective Ruthenium and Gold gilding and a wonderful design and comes along with the Certificate of Authenticity. Limited mintage of 999 pieces worldwide.
Durga carries a variety of weapons and other items that she uses in her fight against evil. Each has a symbolic meaning important to Hinduism; these are the most significant:
- The conch shell symbolizes the Pranava or the mystic word Om, which indicates her holding on to God in the form of sound.
- The bow and arrows represent energy. By holding the bow and arrows both in one hand, Durga demonstrates her control over both aspects of energy—potential and kinetic.
- The thunderbolt signifies firmness in one’s convictions. Just as a real bolt of lightning can destroy anything it strikes, Durga reminds Hindus to attack a challenge without losing confidence.
- The lotus in Durga’s hand, not yet fully in bloom, represents the certainty of success but not finality. The lotus in Sanskrit is called Pankaj, which means “born of mud,” reminding the faithful to stay true to their spiritual quest amid the worldly mud of lust and greed.
- The Sudarshan-Chakra or beautiful discus, which spins around the index finger of the Goddess, signifies that the entire world is subservient to the will of Durga and is at her command. She uses this unfailing weapon to destroy evil and produce an environment conducive to the growth of righteousness.
- The sword that Durga holds in one of her hands symbolizes knowledge, which has the sharpness of a sword. Knowledge free from all doubts is symbolized by the shine of the sword.
- The trident or Trishul is a symbol of three qualities: Satwa (inactivity), Rajas (activity), and Tamas (nonactivity). Deva uses these to alleviate physical, mental, and spiritual suffering.
On the obverse, the year 2023, the coat of arms of the republic of Cameroun. And oriental motifs that blend and become one with the reverse.
