Before anything, I first have to put this Silver Round into a 41 MM 2 oz Egyptian Gods Plastic Capsule to keep my Horus Round safe. It makes no sense to spend the money then be careless with the silver or gold. That's just me.
Horus was often represented by the falcon in Egyptian hieroglyphics. In ancient Egypt, pharaohs wore double crowns known as pschents on their heads. The falcon shown here wears a pschent.
In Egyptian mythology, Horus is more than a popular deity. The early Egyptians knew of Horus during the late prehistoric period, before the pharaohs of dynastic Egypt rose around 3100 BC, as a symbol of the god. Horus was still a well-known deity even after the Romans lost Egypt in 30 BC. His Eye of Horus remains a popular symbol in Egyptian culture today, as well as a national symbol.
The round is an ultra-high-relief strike.
This is achieved through several high-pressure strikes on the blank. The end result is a design element that has greater 3D relief and a background field with enhanced visual depth.
The Silver Round is 5.5 MM is thickness. It is manufacture by the Silvertowne, one of the largest and most trusted silver, gold, and numismatics dealers in the United States.
