25000 Francs Manjushri - The Eight Protectors

Manjusri  - one of the eight Buddhist deities and the crown prince of Buddhist teachings.

This unique coin presents Manjusri with his flaming sword in hand, which he uses to cut and dispel the darkness of ignorance and false perceptions. He rides a lion atop a lotus leaf, symbolising his fearless nature because of his pure wisdom. The lotus flower blooming in his left hand is chosen to mark how he has attained complete realisation and enlightenment. This image of Manjusri is majestic and powerful.

A new minting technique called “Bi-Metal Max” gives this piece its remarkable weight and 120 mm diameter - made possible by combining 28.5 oz of copper as a base with a top layer of 5 oz of fine-silver, resulting in a super ultra-high relief topped with silver antiqued finishing. Limited mintage to 199 pieces worldwide.
