Figures, equipment and a warship fill the 45 mm surface of Snake Island Incident, creating a densely layered composition in ultra-high-relief silver. The antique finish draws out the uniforms, vessel and defensive positions, while small areas of printed colour pick out Ukrainian flags and overhead projectiles. On the obverse, a helmeted soldier appears before a damaged building, with the Cameroon inscription, date and denomination around the portrait.

The first Ukraine War release commemorates the confrontation at Snake Island on 24 February 2022, at the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Issued for Cameroon in 2023 and presented by Carpathian Mint, this 500-piece edition records a defining episode through detailed relief rather than a conventional portrait alone. A presentation box and Certificate of Authenticity accompany it. Examine the detail of Snake Island Incident in silver at FORTYMILLION.

Specifications

Q. What event does this coin commemorate?
A. It commemorates the Snake Island confrontation of 24 February 2022 in the Black Sea, at the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Q. Why does the coin carry Cameroon’s name?
A. Cameroon is the issuing country. The Ukrainian subject commemorates the event, while the obverse carries the Cameroon inscription and 2000 Francs CFA denomination.

Q. What does Ultra High Relief mean?
A. The design stands prominently above the background, giving the figures, ship and equipment a sculptural appearance. Relief describes the design’s depth, not a numerical condition grade.

Q. Does UV printing mean it glows under ultraviolet light?
A. No glow effect is claimed. UV printing identifies the stated printing process used for the selective colour details; it should not be read as a promise of fluorescence.

Q. Is the darkened finish wear?
A. No. Antiquing is the specified finish and deliberately creates contrast around the raised detail. This is not a Proof listing.

Q. How limited is it, and what is included?
A. The worldwide mintage is 500 pieces. A presentation box, capsule and Certificate of Authenticity accompany the coin.
