Cleopatra – A Numismatic Tribute to Egypt's Last Pharaoh

The Cleopatra 2 oz Silver coin presents a dual narrative of Egypt's revered ruler. It celebrates her sovereignty, wisdom, and the multifaceted nature of her reign, which has fascinated the world for millennia.

Cleopatra VII (69-30 BCE), the final Pharaoh of Egypt, was as much a diplomat and linguist as she was a visionary leader, portrayed here in her royal splendor. The reverse of the coin depicts her in regal poise, with the eagle of Zeus and the asp, symbols of divine right and her ultimate tragic choice, set against the backdrop of the majestic Temple of Hathor at Dendera, a site that resonates with her enduring legacy.

The obverse reveals her alluring and strategic intellect that captivated not just the hearts of leaders but shaped the fates of nations. Cleopatra stands before the Nile, the lifeblood of her kingdom, with the Sphinx of Giza and Pyramids under a starry sky, where constellations whisper tales of her storied liaisons and political maneuvers.

This coin is a tribute to her legend, offering collectors a narrative minted in silver of a ruler whose complexity was as enigmatic as the lands she ruled.
