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


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.
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".
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.
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 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.
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.
