Each of the 2 oz Antique Sekhmet Silver Rounds offered in this JM Bullion listing comes with a certified-perfect grade. Mint State 70 specimens exhibit full, original mint luster and have no detractions of any kind present. The silver rounds in this particular release have both an antique polish and a high-relief strike.

The application of antique polish to silver bullion items achieves two goals that attract collectors. The first is to create something that, though brand new, has the charm and appeal of an old-world heirloom, artifact, or coin. The other goal is to help bring out the intricate details in the design element of the round. A high-relief strike helps the design element jump off the round and catch the high. You’ll notice greater 3D relief on the design strike and enhanced visual depth in the background field.

On the obverse side of 2 oz Antique Sekhmet Silver Rounds, you will find a rending of Sekhmet seated near a fire. Captured in left-profile relief, she is shown here with some of the common design elements from Egyptian hieroglyphs. She was commonly portrayed with the body of a female and the head of a lioness. It was also common to depict her wearing a sun disk.

The reverse face of the 2 oz Antique Sekhmet Silver Round shows a different side of the warrior goddess. Though her female form was associated with ruthless skill in battle, she was also depicted as a domesticated cat known as Bastet. This version of the goddess was gentler and was known to aid her friends in avoiding the plague and could cure disease. This version of Sekhmet eventually became associated with physicians and healers.
