Beschrijving keerzijde The reverse features a high-relief, antique-finished depiction of Horus, the ancient Egyptian falcon-headed deity, rendered in a profile view facing left in the manner of classical Egyptian bas-relief art. The figure of Horus is shown wearing a striped nemes headdress and broad usekh collar, carrying a was-scepter staff in the left hand, set against a textured stone-effect field evoking an ancient temple wall. Hieroglyphic cartouches and columns are visible in the background to the left of the figure, enhancing the archaeological character of the design. The overall composition draws on the aesthetic of Egyptian temple carvings, with the figure occupying the majority of the coin's field in a dramatic and sculptural presentation.

Aanvullende informatie

The Bank of Central African States — the BEAC — issues commemorative coinage on behalf of its six member nations: Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon. This particular piece was struck under that umbrella authority, though none of the six have any historical or geographic connection to ancient Egypt. It belongs to a wave of commercially driven bullion-adjacent issues that flooded the numismatic market through the 2010s, produced primarily for collector export rather than domestic circulation.

The 2 troy ounce format places it squarely in that category.
