In ancient Egypt

Flesh and bones of the gods

To the Egyptians, gold and silver were more than metal: they could stand for the flesh and the bones of the gods, for the sun and the moon.

Gold was linked with the gods and the deified dead because it lasts; silver, for its pale colour, with the moon and with ritual purity.

Silver and the moon

For long, silver was worth more than gold

Temple inscriptions from much of Egypt’s history point to this.

Unlike gold, much of it came from neighbouring lands. The official Wah, buried around the beginning of the 12th Dynasty, received a scarab of silver; lead isotope analysis shows that its metal most likely came from Lavrion in Greece.

Gilded silver was rare in the Middle Kingdom. Today several pieces of this world unite both metals: the gilded scarab, the partly gilded pyramids and the silver set.

The gold of the pharaohs

Gold from Nubia and the Eastern Desert

The Egyptian word for gold, nbw, is reflected in the ancient name of Nubia.

The map of the gold mines

Around 1150 BC a map of the Wadi Hammamat was made for a quarrying expedition of Ramesses IV, one of the earliest known maps. According to the geologist James Harrell, it bears labels such as “hills where gold is found” and “hills of gold and silver”.

It is regarded as the oldest known geological map; the next known one only appears in the sources some 29 centuries later.

In the land of the pharaohs

Five faces of ancient Egypt

The pieces of this world show Tutankhamun, Nefertiti, Cleopatra, Hatshepsut and Ramesses II. Tutankhamun’s tomb was found largely intact.

Giza · wonder of the ancient world

Built for eternity

The Pyramid of Khufu is the only surviving wonder of the ancient world. Its ancient name was Akhet Khufu, “the Horizon of Khufu”.

Signs of the Nile

What the signs meant

The same signs return on the pieces of this world. This is how major museums describe their meaning in ancient Egypt.

  • Scarab

    Scarab

    Scarabs with the name and title of their owner often served as seals: their underside was pressed into a lump of clay.

    On this piece

  • Eye of Ra

    Eye of Ra

    In the myth the Eye went away and only returned once wine, music and dance had calmed it; in this way the Egyptians explained the yearly journey of the sun to the south and back.

    On the Eye of Ra bar

  • Wedjat eye

    Wedjat eye

    “Wedjat” means “the one that is sound”: in the myth Seth injured or stole the eye of Horus, and Thoth restored it.

    On a pyramid from Djibouti

  • Ankh

    Ankh

    As a hieroglyph the ankh wrote the words “live” and “life”; as a symbol it stood for life.

    On a pyramid from Djibouti

  • Uraeus

    Uraeus

    The rearing cobra with its flared hood was worn on the forehead and was regarded as a sign of protection.

    On the death mask from Liberia

  • Cartouche

    Cartouche

    In hieroglyphic inscriptions the oval surrounds the names of royal persons.

    On the coin of the Perth Mint

Minting and finish

A beetle in full relief

The coin carries its beetle in full relief: gilded, set in blue and with two stones, a red one above and a clear one below.

2 oz Silver Ancient Egypt 3D Scarab 2026 – When Mythology Meets Masterful Minting

  • Strictly limited: Only 1,500 pieces of this extraordinary coin exist worldwide
  • Appreciation potential: Thanks to the extremely low mintage and high collector demand, this coin offers excellent growth opportunities
  • Rarity: A unique collector's coin that combines numismatics and craftsmanship at the highest level
  • Design: Breathtaking 3D scarab with 24-karat partial gilding, blue enamel, and two set zirconia stones – a three-dimensional masterpiece
  • Material: 2 oz fine silver (999/1,000) plus 30 g copper, proof-like quality
  • Country of origin: Solomon Islands, face value 5 dollars
  • Manufacturer: Various

There are coins you buy. And there are coins you must own. The 2 oz silver Ancient Egypt 3D Scarab 2026 undoubtedly belongs in the second category. What has been immortalized here in a 55-millimeter diameter pushes the boundaries of what one would expect from a minted coin. A three-dimensional scarab literally rises from the coin's surface – gilded in 24 karats, adorned with shimmering blue enamel, and crowned by a deep red zirconia stone that sits like the eye of the sun god Ra above the winged beetle. At the lower edge, a second, clear zirconia stone sparkles. Numismatics becomes sculpture here.

The Scarab – Eternal Symbol of Rebirth

In ancient Egypt, the scarab was far more than an insect. It embodied Khepri, the god of the rising sun, and stood for rebirth, transformation, and the eternal cycle of life. Pharaohs wore scarab amulets as protective symbols. Priests placed them on the chests of the deceased to pave the way into the afterlife. This millennia-old symbolism now lives on in a modern silver coin – and in spectacular fashion.

The scarab rolls the sun across the sky, as Khepri has done since the beginning of time. In this coin, his eternal journey is immortalized in silver and gold.

The obverse is a feast for the senses: the winged scarab majestically spreads its wings, surrounded by finely crafted Egyptian hieroglyphs and ornaments. The combination of warm gold and cool blue creates a contrast reminiscent of the treasures from Tutankhamun's burial chamber. The reverse shows the portrait of King Charles III in profile, also finished in fine gilding, along with the details "2 oz", "$5", and "Ag 999".

Technical Brilliance in Every Detail

This silver coin issue consists of 2 oz of fine silver (62.21 g) with a purity of 999/1,000, complemented by 30 g of copper, which gives the piece additional stability and feel. The proof-like quality ensures mirror-like surfaces and razor-sharp reliefs – a hallmark of quality that connoisseurs recognize immediately.

Key specifications at a glance:

  1. Fine weight: 62.21 g pure silver (999/1,000 fineness) plus 30 g copper
  2. Diameter: 55 mm – an impressive size that perfectly showcases the 3D design
  3. 24-karat partial gilding with blue enamel
  4. Two set zirconia stones: one red and one clear stone
  5. Year of issue 2026, face value 5 dollars (Solomon Islands)
  6. Delivered in high-quality original packaging with an elegant dark case

Extremely Rare Rarity with Only 1,500 Pieces

Let this number sink in: only 1,500 pieces were minted worldwide. This is not a marketing phrase, but a hard fact that makes this coin a true rarity. For comparison: popular bullion coins such as the Maple Leaf or the Vienna Philharmonic are produced in mintages of millions. Here, we are talking about a strictly limited special edition, where every single piece counts.

For collectors, this creates a fascinating scenario. The combination of elaborate 3D minting, gemstone setting, partial gilding, and a very low mintage creates high appreciation potential. Comparable issues from previous years of the "Ancient Egypt" series have shown that such pieces are highly sought after by collectors worldwide – and demand often significantly exceeds supply.

Silver – The Underestimated Store of Value

Silver has a millennia-old history as a coinage metal and store of value. It was equally prized by the Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians. Today, industrial demand – from solar technology to electronics to medicine – continues to grow steadily, while supply remains limited. Profits from the sale of silver are also generally tax-free, provided the holding period is at least one year. An advantage not to be underestimated.

Silver also serves as a proven inflation hedge and reliable crisis protection – qualities that are particularly valuable in uncertain times. Compared to gold, silver is often more affordable, making it an attractive choice for many collectors and newcomers alike.

A Work of Art for Your Collection

The 2 oz Silver Ancient Egypt 3D Scarab 2026 is no ordinary coin. It is a statement. A piece that feels in the hand like an artifact from another era – yet was crafted with state-of-the-art minting technology. The elegant original packaging with a dark case and transparent capsule protects the piece while also effectively showcasing it. Whether as the centerpiece of an Egypt collection, a special gift, or a long-term investment: this collector's coin deserves a place of honor.

Secure one of the few available pieces before the limited mintage takes its toll and this edition disappears from the market. With a mintage of only 1,500 pieces, it's not a question of if – only of when.
