The Egyptian scarab beetle, scientifically known as Scarabaeus sacer, served as one of ancient Egypt’s most prominent and enduring sacred emblems. This dung beetle was closely associated with the sun god Ra, as its habit of rolling balls of dung across the ground mimicked Ra’s movement of the sun across the sky. Today, 1/200 oz Monarch Egyptian Scarab Gold Rounds are available at JM Bullion.

The Egyptians observed how the beetle would bury its ball of dung in the sand, from which young beetles would later emerge, leading them to connect the scarab with themes of spontaneous creation, rebirth, and regeneration. Scarab amulets became incredibly popular throughout ancient Egyptian history, worn by both the living and the dead as powerful protective talismans. These artifacts were often crafted from precious materials like gold, semi-precious stones, or faience, and frequently featured hieroglyphic inscriptions on their flat undersides.

All 1/200 oz Monarch Egyptian Scarab Gold Rounds are available here with individual acrylic capsules. These beautiful gold rounds boast 24-karat gold and detailed design elements on both sides. The design elements are faithful replications of ancient hieroglyphs and symbolism of Egypt’s past.

For the obverse of Monarch Egyptian Scarab Gold Rounds, you’ll find an image of a winged Scarab beetle holding the Eye of Ra. The Eye of Ra, often depicted as a sun disk encircled by a cobra, symbolized the fierce, protective power of the sun god Ra and his daughter Sekhmet, serving as a protective emblem against evil and illness, while also representing divine providence and the sun’s life-giving force.

In the reverse design of 1/200 oz Egyptian Scarab Gold Rounds, the central design features the Egyptian Ankh emblem with the hieroglyph for gold included in the design field. The Ankh, distinguished by its cross shape with a looped top, represented eternal life and the union of male and female divine energies, becoming so significant that Coptic Christians later adapted it into their own symbolism – this “key of life” appeared extensively in temple carvings, royal regalia, and personal jewelry.
