2016 Horus 2-Ounce Silver Coin

The 2016 Horus 2 Ounce Silver Coin in the second release in a series of coins produced by Scottsdale Mint for the Republic of Chad. Beautifully designed and presented, the coin is meant to feel like the carving came right out of the wall of an Egyptian tomb, as the series is based on existing hieroglyphs, with a unique chiseled granite effect edge.

Horus, an ancient Egyptian sky god, is depicted as a man with the head of a falcon. Legend has it that Horus fought for the throne of Egypt, losing one eye in the process. The Eye of Horus is a symbol of protection and good health.

This series of coins is unlike any other bullion coin out there - it is quite a stunning object to hold and to look at. It is made from pure .999 silver and contains two troy ounces.

The first coin in the Egyptian Relic Series is the 5oz King Tut Silver coin.
