2016 5 oz Chad Egyptian Relic Series Antiqued King Tut Silver Coin (w/Box)
The 2016 5 oz Chad Egyptian Relic Series Antiqued King Tut Silver Coin (w/Box) is an extraordinary release and the first issue in the highly acclaimed Egyptian Relic Series, struck by the Scottsdale Mint on behalf of the Republic of Chad. Containing 5 troy ounces of .999 fine silver, this impressive coin features an antiqued proof finish, giving it the look and feel of an artifact carved from stone. With its chiseled edges and incuse strike, the coin evokes the aura of ancient relics, making it a true masterpiece for collectors and history enthusiasts.
The design pays tribute to Tutankhamun, or King Tut, the legendary boy pharaoh of Egypt’s 18th dynasty. Ascending to the throne at only nine years old in 1332 B.C., King Tut reigned for nearly a decade before his untimely death. Long forgotten by history, his fame was reborn in 1922 when British archaeologist Howard Carter unearthed his nearly intact tomb filled with treasures, including the now-iconic golden coffin. King Tut became renowned not only for his treasures but also for restoring traditional Egyptian values after the radical changes of his father, Akhenaten. This coin honors his enduring legacy with a design that captures his divine status and royal majesty.
