The Republic of Chad’s Egyptian Relic Series delivers some of the finest silver coining visuals you’ll find. Each individual coin has a hand-brushed antique finish and a rough-hewn edge that appears to be chiseled directly from a slab of granite. These design features combine to give the coins the look of ancient currency in use for thousands of years. Further, these coins have an incuse design that sinks the feature elements into the surface of the coin.

On the obverse of the 2017 5 oz Republic of Chad Egyptian Relic Series Queen Nefertiti Silver Coin is the image of Nefertiti herself in right-profile relief. Included in the design elements are Egyptian hieroglyphs. Nefertiti was long used as a depiction of the ultimate beauty in the female form and was the Great Royal Wife of Akhenaten.

The Pharaoh Akhenaten and Queen Nefertiti led an impressive revolution in Egyptian culture during the Pharaoh’s reign. The couple ruled over a period of time many believe was the most economically vibrant in Ancient Egyptian history, and revolutionized religion in Egypt by worshipping just one god, the sun disc.

Flip the coins to the reverse and you’ll find the national crest of the Republic of Chad. The design includes a crest in the center, with a lion on the right and a goat on the left. The common national motto of many former French colonies, “Unite Travail Progres” appears on a banner below. The nation of issue is inscribed along with the face value, year of issue, weight, metal content, and purity.
