Last of the series….

Afternoon everyone….

Yet another piece from the box of tricks that I just received the other day.

It’s the last round of the Egyptian Gods series. This was announced during the presale of this round.

Here is the blurb from Provident Metals site:

The Egyptian Gods Series has been a favorite among collectors for its intricate high-relief designs and rich symbolism. Relaunched in 2021 after a brief pause, the series introduced exciting new designs. Now, the collection reaches its conclusion with the release of the 2 oz Silver Ra Round.

Obverse

The obverse side of the 2 oz Silver Ra Round features Ra in his human form, depicted aboard his solar boat. As he crosses the sky, Ras journey represents the daily cycle of life and renewal. Above him is the Eye of Horus, a symbol of protection and healing, further emphasizing his divine authority and connection to order.

Reverse

On the reverse of 2 oz Silver Ra Rounds, the design highlights the enduring symbols of ancient Egypt. A grand pyramid rises in the background, while a winged scarab beetlerepresenting transformation and rebirthappears in the foreground. Hieroglyphic-style text at the bottom details the weight, purity, and metal content of the round.

History

Ra, the sun god, was central to ancient Egyptian beliefs. Known as the creator of life, Ra was believed to have emerged from the waters of chaos to shape the world and create humanity from his tears. Over centuries, Ras role expanded, blending with other deities like Amun to form Amun-Ra, a powerful figure symbolizing creation and kingship.

Now the round…

I have been a huge fan of this series since its inception. The designs and detail in the strikes is spectacular.
