2023 Chad 2-oz Silver Egyptian Relics Amenhotep IV Antiqued Coin

Egyptian Relics Series Shines A Light On A Sun-Worshiping Pharaoh

Amenhotep IV, later known as Akhenaten, was one of the world’s first mavericks. That’s because the unconventional pharaoh challenged centuries of polytheistic tradition in ancient Egypt by introducing the worship of Aten, the sun disk, as the central deity of the New Kingdom. His bold religious reforms and the artistic shift toward more naturalistic depictions were controversial in his time, but they left a lasting impact on Egyptian culture, even if his rivals and subsequent rulers attempted to erase his name and legacy from the pages of history. His memory could not be completely expunged, however, as brilliantly shown by this exotic release in the Egyptian Relics series that shows the still famous king depicted holding a Pharaoh’s traditional crook and flail.

Struck In Astonishing Detail

Struck by the renowned Scottsdale Mint in two ounces of highly pure 99.9% fine silver, the detail on this coin is astounding. It’s almost as if you’re looking at the face on a finely carved Egyptian mummy’s sarcophagus! The added augmentation of a lavish antique finish adds even more detail to the coin making the deep lines in the design even darker to perfectly contrast with the coin’s higher points. Antique finishes like this are typically applied by hand meaning that no two coins are exactly alike.

Egypt’s Heretic Pharaoh

Known as the “heretic pharaoh,” Amenhotep and his Great Royal Wife, Nefertiti, reigned at what was arguably the wealthiest period of ancient Egyptian history. With little interest or acumen in international affairs, his neglect of foreign policy resulted in a weakening of Egypt’s trade relationships and the loss of previously conquered lands. Just a few years after Amenhotep’s death, his son, the famous King Tutankhamun of “King Tut” fame, restored the traditional polytheistic form of ancient Egyptian religion, undoing his father’s religious edicts.
