Hi Hivers,

We probable will be burried in wood or burnt in flames but for Pharaos that was different in the ole Egypt days. The body was balsemed and put into a sarcophagus.

A kilo of gold was used to make a nice face cover for the deceased Pharaoh on his trip to afterlive.

Look at this little piece of a coin made by Numiscollect.

Yes it is a coin but will not fit into your wallet. It is 5 ounce of silver covered with a thin layer of gold (called guilded). I think it is rather small bu massive. THink of 5 coins melted to this shape.

On this picture you can see the coin details. (Palau 20 dollars is the issuing country).

Mintage will be 620 (strange number) so there is a chance you will see it as a rarity coin with your larger dealer. Price will be above 250 USD I bet.

Enjoy the weekend
