The ancient Egyptian scarab becomes the canvas for a dramatic modern tribute to Ramses II in this 2022 Palau issue. Its antique finish and ultra-high-relief sculpting give the piece dimensionality that ordinary bullion simply cannot reproduce, while a vivid red Swarovski crystal provides a striking focal point.

Issued by Palau with a limited mintage of only 1,500 pieces, the coin carries a $5 denomination and contains 1 oz of silver. CIT produced the piece, which comes with a plastic flip, themed display box, and Certificate of Authenticity. The obverse features the Republic of Palau's coat of arms, the denomination, and scarab imagery; the reverse presents Ramses II's birth and throne names in hieroglyphic style surrounding the red crystal.

Selected by Elementls for its limited production, sculptural Egyptian design, and unusual combination of precious metal, antique finish, and gemstone-like detail, this is a highly distinctive addition to a collection of modern art coins.
