One of the most significant deities from Ancient Egypt is next up in the Egyptian Gods Series of high-relief silver rounds. While Horus filled many roles within the mythology of Ancient Egypt, perhaps his most important were his duties as the God of Kingship and God of the Sky. Right now, 2 oz Horus Silver Rounds in the Egyptian Gods Series are available to purchase online from JM Bullion.
Round Highlights:
Each of the 2 oz Horus Silver Rounds available in this product listing at JM Bullion comes with individual or bulk packaging at the time of purchase. The rounds are offered individually in plastic flips or by multiples of 10 inside protective tubes. These rounds offer an ultra-high-relief strike. This is achieved through several high-pressure strikes on the blank. The end result is a design element that has greater 3D relief and a background field with enhanced visual depth.
Horus is more than just one of the most popular deities from Egyptian mythology. A symbol long associated with the pharaohs of dynastic Egypt, Horus was actually known to the Egyptians of the late prehistoric period in Egypt before the rise of the pharaohs around 3100 BC. Even by the time the Romans lost Egypt as a territory in 30 BC, Horus was still a well-known deity. Today, he is still regarded as a national symbol and the Eye of Horus remains a popular emblem in Egyptian culture.
The obverse side of the 2 oz Horus Silver Round features a powerful depiction of Horus as he was often depicted in Egyptian art. Here, he stands in a slight-left-profile relief with his right hand outstretched holding a staff. He has the familiar falcon head often shown in Egyptian artwork with the two most famous symbols of his figure included in the field: a falcon and the Eye of Horus. Set, his antithesis in the afterworld, looks on from the shadows.
On the reverse face of 2 oz Horus Ultra High Relief Silver Rounds, you will find the right-profile image of a falcon. In Egyptian hieroglyphs, the falcon was most commonly used to reference Horus. The falcon shown here is wearing the pschent, a double crown worn by the pharaohs in Ancient Egypt. The double crown represents the combination of Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt as one kingdom.
