{{/presale}} {{#promotion_on}}In 1872, Swiss artist Arnold Bcklin painted Self Portrait with Death Playing the Fiddle, a deeply personal work that explored the idea of mortality through art. Inspired by his own loss, this painting has become a notable piece in the memento mori tradition. Now, the painting is featured on a black proof silver coin in the Treasures of the World Painting Series.

Obverse
The obverse of the 2025 Black Proof Cameroon Silver Treasures of the World Painting Coin displays the national coat of arms for Cameroon. This includes a central shield with scales, crossed axes in the background, and a single star above the design.
Reverse
The reverse features Bcklins self-portrait, showing the moment he pauses his work while a skeleton representing Death plays a one-stringed fiddle beside him. The expression on Bcklins face reflects calm recognition, hinting at an acceptance of deaths constant presence and the drive to create regardless.
History
This painting stands out because Death is not portrayed in a dramatic or violent way. Instead, he is shown quietly playing a fiddle, standing behind the artist. The scene feels reflective, and the dark, muted colors give it a somber but peaceful tone, inviting viewers to consider the link between life, art, and the inevitable end.
