Few modern silver pieces lean as completely into the artistry of ancient Egypt as this scarab-shaped tribute to Ramses II. The antique finish, ultra-high-relief sculpting, and brilliant red Swarovski crystal create an object that feels closer to a miniature artifact than conventional bullion.

Issued by Palau in 2022 with a 1,500-piece mintage, this 1 oz silver coin carries a $5 face value and was produced by CIT. The obverse presents the Republic of Palau's coat of arms and scarab imagery, while the reverse features the red Swarovski crystal beneath Ramses II's birth and throne names rendered in hieroglyphic style.

This example is certified PCGS MS70 and carries the First Day of Issue designation. It includes the themed display box and Certificate of Authenticity.

Selected by Elementls for its exceptionally sculptural form, ancient Egyptian subject, very limited mintage, and perfect certified grade, this is a collector's piece designed to command attention.
