Houdini's Water Torture Cell – A Tribute to Magic
Celebrating the centennial legacy of Houdini's Water Torture Cell, invented in 1912, this coin captures the essence of escapology. The reverse showcases a vintage illustration of Houdini in his "Upside Down" escape act, intricately shaped and proofed with color. The obverse features a monstrous character sealing Houdini's fate, encased in the Water Torture Cell, framed by a seamless chain link symbolizing the inescapable magic.
Issued by the Republic of Cameroon in 2024, this 1 oz legal tender coin is made from .999 fine silver, measures 25.3 x 50 mm, and has a face value of 1000 Francs CFA. Its shaped, proof finish with color adds to its allure. Limited to just 1000 pieces, this coin offers collectors a rare piece of numismatic theatre, celebrating Houdini’s boundless legacy.
