This 1000 Francs of Chad is part of their new NCLT series on themes of ancient Egypt. This design appears to take the subject of Horus right off a temple wall. It looks like Horus is approaching a microphone to do his Karaoke version of "Walk Like An Egyptian." This piece is 2 ounces of 999 fine silver. This one is 4.75 mm thick and the edge is antiqued as well.
Scottsdale Mint used their high-quality minting techniques and rimless design, on a remarkable 4.75 mm thick coin, to replicate a hand-carved Egyptian relic. Horus is one of the most significant ancient Egyptian deities. He was worshiped from at least the late prehistoric Egypt until the Ptolemaic Kingdom and Roman Egypt. This 2 oz Silver coin is the 2nd and final release for the 2016 Egyptian Relic series and features a hand-brushed Antique Proof finish and chiseled granite edge to bring Horus to life. The coin has a distinct incuse design and a rough finish.
