Honey bees are essential pollinators, responsible for the pollination of about one-third of the food crops we consume. They play a critical role in preserving biodiversity and ensuring our food supply. This significant role of honey bees in the worlds ecosystem is celebrated with this stunning coin release from the Republic of Cameroon. Now, the 2025 Antique Cameroon Honey Bees 2 oz Silver Coins are available online at Provident Metals.
Highlights:
Honey bees live in colonies that include a queen, thousands of female worker bees, and a few hundred male drones. Each bee plays a distinct role in the hive.
Obverse
The obverse of the 2025 Antique Honey Bees 2 oz Silver Coin features the Cameroonian coat of arms. Both sides of the coin have an enameled background that replicates the look of a beehives honeycomb, with the coat of arms set against this detailed field in shining silver. The inscriptions here include REPUBLIQUE DU CAMEROUN, 2 OZ AG 999, 2000 FRANCS CFA, and 2025.
Reverse
On the reverse side of the 2025 Antique Cameroon Honey Bees Silver Coin, a high-relief image of a honeybee is showcased. The honeybee is set against the same enameled honeycomb background seen on the obverse, creating a beautiful visual contrast.
History
Bees collect plant resins to create propolis, a sticky substance used to seal gaps in the hive and with antimicrobial properties that help keep the colony healthy. Within a colony, bees practice swarming. This is the natural method of colony reproduction. When a hive becomes too crowded, about half the bees leave with the old queen to establish a new colony elsewhere.
Ordering
These 2025 Antique Cameroon Honey Bees 2 oz Silver Coins come in presentation boxes, each housed in a Honey Bee-themed case that includes a Certificate of Authenticity. The coins also feature an antique polish for enhanced visual brilliance.
