2023 1oz Osiris Silver Coin Egyptian Gods

The Pobjoy Mint has released an exciting new series of coins featuring Egyptian gods to commemorate 250 years since the birth of British Egyptologist Dr Thomas Young. This Osiris silver coin is the second coin in this series.

Osiris, one of the most significant deities in ancient Egyptian mythology, holds a prominent place in the pantheon of gods. As the god of the afterlife, fertility, and resurrection, He played a crucial role in the Egyptian belief system and was revered as a benevolent ruler and judge of the dead.

Osiris was often depicted as a regal figure, usually shown with green or black skin, symbolizing fertility and rebirth. He wore the Atef crown, a tall white crown adorned with ostrich feathers and the Uraeus, which represented his divine authority. Additionally, he held the crook and flail, symbols of his role as a shepherd and protector of the Egyptian people.

This 2023 Osiris coin contains 1oz of 999 fine silver, with a mintage limited to only 5,000 coins. On the reverse Isis is displayed with her wings spread, her name in hieroglyphics appearing in a rectangle. In the background are typical Egyptian decorations with hieroglyphics and a 'P' privy mark exclusive to Pobjoy Mint coins. The obverse displays the coat of arms of the Republic of Sierra Leone, the coin is backed by the Sierra Leone government and is considered a sovereign coin.
