The Egyptian Gods Series of silver rounds offers brilliant high-relief silver designs on 2 oz blanks, with new designs released regularly with a different Egyptian deity depicted in human form and animal representation on either side of the rounds. The 2 oz Khnum Silver Round from the Egyptian Gods Series is currently available to you online from JM Bullion.
Round Highlights:
Khnum was one of the earliest Egyptian deities referenced in writing and is referred to as the god responsible for the source of the Nile River. The symbolism surrounding Khnum was complex. The Nile River itself floods annually and enrichens the surrounding soil with silt and clay. Ancient Egyptians believed Khnum was responsible for these life-bringing floods.
Ancient Egyptians believed that Khnum was likewise responsible for creating human bodies. It was believed he would use a potter’s wheel and clay to form young children and place them in their mother’s womb. Khnum was represented in human form as a man with the head of a ram, while his Earthly representation was simply that of a powerful ram.
On the obverse of the 2 oz Khnum Silver Round, you’ll find the human form of Khnum in right-profile relief as he works at his potter’s wheel to create a human specimen. At the top of the round design, field are hieroglyphs representing his name in Ancient Egyptian the written language.
The reverse side of the 2 oz Khnum Silver Round features the Earthly image of the deity as a ram. The ram rests on an altar with a pyramid in the background and hieroglyphs on the wall behind that. There are engravings on this face of the round denoting the weight, purity, and metal content.
The 2 oz Khnum Silver Rounds are fourth in the popular Egyptian Gods Series. Each round is a 2 oz blank struck in high relief, which requires intense pressure during coining to sink the background field and bring out in greater 3D relief the design set.
