Treasures of the Pharaohs - Ancient Egypt Collection (incl. 1 kg Silver Coin)

Treasures of the Pharaohs – 3,000 Years of Advanced Civilization, Cast in Gold and Silver

Nine mintings, one theme, a total fine weight of 1,218.17 g. The "Ancient Egypt" collection brings together the empire of the Nile in a way no single piece ever could: from the monumental kilogram silver coin featuring Cleopatra, through a three-dimensional scarab set with zirconia stones, to gold coins that fit between two fingertips. Anyone seeking silver coins and gold rarities with storytelling power will find a cohesive ensemble here rather than a random assortment.

The Centerpiece: One Kilogram of Fine Silver in Antique Patina

The large round dominates everything else even in the product photo. 100 millimeters in diameter, a full kilogram of 999 fine silver, blackened antique patina – and a design field worked in multiple layers. On the right stands Cleopatra in full figure: nemes headdress, broad collar, bracelets, an ankh symbol on her chest, finely pleated robe. On the left and above, construction is underway. Workers pull stone blocks on sledges, obelisks rise upright, behind them the pyramids of Giza, the Great Sphinx, palm trees, and a Nile barge with rowers. At the center, a winged scarab spreads its wings, illuminated by an inset crystal sun disk within a sunburst-like round ornament of lotus and papyrus motifs. The inscription "ANCIENT EGYPT" and the year "2026" frame the whole, with hieroglyph friezes closing the edge. The issuing country is Samoa, the face value is 20 dollars – and the mintage is limited to 199 pieces worldwide. The multiple-layer technique overlays several minting depths; the result is less a coin than a historical tableau in miniature.

Scarab in Three Dimensions

The second silver minting takes a different approach. At 55 millimeters and 62.21 g of fine silver (999.9), a scarab pectoral rises from the surface in extreme high relief. The beetle's body carries metallic-blue enamel in a lapis lazuli look, the wings are feathered in blue and gold, above sits a facet-cut red zirconia stone as a sun disk, and a second, clear stone sparkles at the lower edge. All around: ray, pearl, and rosette ornaments in a gold look, crowned by 24-karat gilding. Face value 5 dollars, issuing country Solomon Islands, condition prooflike, mintage 1,500 pieces. The scarab was a symbol of rebirth in ancient Egypt – a motif that could hardly suit precious metal better.

Three Pyramids That Are Truly Pyramids

Not flat rounds, but spatially formed bodies: the set dedicated to the Necropolis of Giza comprises the Pyramid of Menkaure (21.80 × 21.80 × 19.20 mm), the Pyramid of Khafre (27.50 × 27.50 × 24.10 mm), and the Great Pyramid of Khufu (31.50 × 31.50 × 27.50 mm). Arranged by size, they form exactly the silhouette that travelers have sketched for millennia. All four faces bear reliefs with hieroglyphic bands, a scarab, and the Eye of Horus, while the reverse sides name the pharaohs buried there. The base shows the issuing country Djibouti, the fineness Ag 999, and the face value of 200 francs. The 24-karat partial gilding is more than decoration: the structures were originally clad in polished limestone and shone in the desert sun like gold. Mintage: 349 sets.

Gold in the Smallest Denomination – and in the Finest Condition

Both gold minted bars in coin format come from the Republic of Liberia, carry a face value of 25 dollars, weigh 1/200 oz, and are made of 9999 fine gold. One depicts the death mask of Tutankhamun frontally with nemes headcloth, uraeus, and ceremonial beard beneath a winged sun disk; the other shows the Eye of Ra, set within a dense field of Egyptian script. Both are issued in Proof – that mirror-finish quality explicitly stated for the individual items, which truly brings out the contrast of the design. The four historical portrait mintings of Cleopatra, Nefertiti, Hatshepsut, and Ramesses II are made of 999 fine gold from Valcambi, each weighing 1/1000 oz, and, as described on the individual product pages, come in Brilliant Uncirculated, prooflike quality, in a decorative blister card with proof of authenticity.

Gold is humanity's oldest currency. It has outlasted every paper currency that has ever competed against it – the pharaohs knew this long before we did. What Ra protects endures for millennia.

Made for Collectors, Intended as a Tangible Asset

Compared to classic bullion coins such as the Krugerrand or Maple Leaf, the premium here is naturally higher: antique finish, enamel, inset stones, and three-dimensional minting forms are technically demanding and can hardly be reproduced economically in such small mintages. Anyone wanting to stack ounces exclusively is better served by standard bullion. But anyone who values three-digit mintages, Egyptian symbolism, and depth of design gets both substance and collector appeal in one package.

• Value preservation: Gold and silver possess intrinsic value and have served as stores of value for millennia.
• Inflation hedge: physical precious metals remain independent of central bank policy and trust in paper currency.
• Crisis protection: recognized worldwide, tradable at any time, discreetly storable.
• Inheritable: a cohesive theme can be passed on as a whole to the next generation.
