Pièce 2 onces d'argent Série biblique | Exode 2015

This is the first release in the Scottsdale Mint Biblical Series showcasing dramatic scenes from the Bible.

This coin has an unusual rimless design which allows the design to fill the entire field of the coin.

The coin also features a wonderful, hand-finished antique patina that makes it appear as though it is an aged and treasured family heirloom.

The rim of the coin matches the rest of the coin with it's weathered appearance, and has a laser-engraved serial number that matches the number on the antique-feeling certificate of authenticity.

The obverse has a Raphael Maklouf effigy of Queen Elizabeth II.

When Maklouf sculpted the effigy of the Queen used on UK circulating coins from 1985 to 1997 he was accused of sculpting the Queen "flatteringly young".

The same comment could be applied today.

The reverse features an adaptation of Gustav Dore's 1860's engraving by sculptor D'Almeida Novissimo.

The high relief features the Egyptian army in the foreground, about to be destroyed as the Red Sea crashes down upon them.

In the background we see Moses and his people standing safely above the sea, with Moses' arms spread wide.

This coin is the first in a series of six Biblical-themed coins to be released this year.

It has a strictly limited mintage of only 1,499, and is sure to sell out quickly.
