2017 Silver 5 oz Republic of Chad Queen Nefertiti

5 oz Republic of Chad Queen Nefertiti 2017

This third release in the incredibly unique and popular Egyptian Relic Series, produced by Scottsdale Mint for the Republic of Chad, features Nefertiti, Queen and Chief Consort (wife) of Pharaoh Akhenaten.

The Coin's design is based on actual ancient hieroglyphs, and incuse engraved,* with added hand-brushed antique finish. The additional touch of the edge's appearance having a chiseled-stone look, coupled with the thickness of 11.8mm, the resulting overall effect is like handling a stone carving.

The obverse features Queen Nefertiti, as often depicted in ancient hieroglyphs. A sculpted bust of Nefertiti produced during her lifetime still remains in excellent condition, providing a glimpse of her magnificent beauty. The realistic design is displayed both in the incuse style minting, as well as the finely antiqued finish. Even the irregular cracks running through the design replicates how the hieroglyph's original condition would appear.

The reverse of each coin in the series displays a large, finely engraved image of the Republic of Chad's coat of arms. Encircling the image at the rim are the inscriptions, "Republic Du Tchad 5 Troy Oz 3000 Francs CFA .999 Fine Silver." Immediately below the coat of arms is the the release year.

*Incuse design is when an image, which might normally be engraved to be raised above the coin's surface, is rather struck to be recessed into the surface.
