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

Treasures of the Pharaohs – 3,000 Years of High Civilisation, Cast in Gold and Silver

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

The Centrepiece: One Kilogram of Fine Silver in Antique Patina

The large round dominates everything else, even in the product image. 100 millimetres 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 haul stone blocks on sledges, obelisks rise upright, with the Pyramids of Giza, the Great Sphinx, palm trees and a Nile barque with rowers in the background. At the centre, a winged scarab spreads its wings, outshone by an inset crystal sun disc within a sunburst-like circular ornament of lotus and papyrus motifs. The inscription "ANCIENT EGYPT" and the year "2026" frame the whole, with hieroglyph friezes closing off 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 miniature historical tableau.

Scarab in Three Dimensions

The second silver mintage takes a different approach. At 55 millimetres and 62.21 g of fine silver (999/1,000), a scarab pectoral rises from the surface in extreme high relief. The beetle's body bears metallic blue enamel in a lapis lazuli finish, the wings are feathered in blue and gold, above which sits a facet-cut red zirconia stone as the sun disc, while a second, clear stone sparkles at the lower edge. All around: sunburst, pearl and rosette ornaments in a gold finish, crowned by 24-carat gilding. Face value 5 dollars, issuing country Solomon Islands, prooflike condition, mintage 1,500 pieces. In ancient Egypt, the scarab was a symbol of rebirth – a motif that could hardly suit precious metal better.

Three Pyramids That Are Genuinely Pyramids

Not flat rounds, but spatially shaped bodies: the set dedicated to the Giza necropolis 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). Lined up by size, they form exactly the silhouette that travellers have sketched for millennia. All four flanks carry reliefs with hieroglyph bands, scarab and the Eye of Horus, while the reverse sides name the pharaohs buried there. The base states the issuing country Djibouti, the fineness Ag 999 and the face value of 200 francs. The 24-carat partial gilding is more than decoration: originally, the structures were clad in polished limestone and gleamed like gold in the desert sun. Mintage: 349 sets.

Gold in the Smallest Denomination – and in the Finest Condition

Both gold bars in coin format originate 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 disc; the other shows the Eye of Ra, embedded in a dense field of Egyptian script. Both are issued in Proof quality – the mirror-finish quality explicitly noted on the individual product pages, which truly brings out the contrast of the design. The four historic portrait mintages of Cleopatra, Nefertiti, Hatshepsut and Ramses II are made of 999 fine gold by Valcambi, each weighing 1/1000 oz, and, as described on the individual product pages, come Brilliant Uncirculated in 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, Conceived 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 minted shapes are technically demanding and barely economical to reproduce in such small mintages. Anyone looking purely to stack ounces will be better served by standard bullion. Those who, on the other hand, value three-digit mintages, Egyptian symbolism and depth of design receive 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 confidence in paper money.
• Crisis protection: globally recognised, tradable at any time, discreetly storable.
• Inheritable: a cohesive theme can be passed on to the next generation as a whole.
