Horus is the 2nd coin release in the Egyptian Relic Series of the Republic of Chad. Based on famous hieroglyphs, these coins are designed to feel like the carving came right out of the wall. This 2016 ERS 2 oz .999 Fine Silver Coin features a chiseled stone looking edge with a hand brushed antique finish. This incuse design at 40mm x 4.75mm dimension gives this coin a special feel.
This 2 troy ounce .999 silver coin was created by Scottsdale Mint in conjunction with The Chad Republic.
The 2016 Horus Silver Coin is the second release under the Egyptian Relic Series and follows the King Tut silver round, released in the same year. The reverse depicts an ancient Egyptian relief of Horus, the Egyptian sky God. He was most often depicted as a falcon or a man with a falcon head.
The obverse features the coat of arms of the Republic Of Chad, the Chad legend, as well as weight, denominational value of 1000 Francs and the purity.
The rimless coin design is startling and unique and the edges of the coin feature decorative chisel-like markings to add to the “relic” effect.
