| Beschrijving keerzijde | Three polychrome color-printed canopic jars from ancient Egypt are depicted in the central field against a dark background: at left, a jar surmounted by the falcon head of Qebehsenuef; at center, the jackal-headed jar of Duamutef rendered in green; and at right, a jar bearing the human-headed lid of Imsety. Each jar displays a vertical panel of hieroglyphic inscriptions on its body. The surrounding border features an array of Egyptian hieroglyphic symbols and motifs in relief on a gold-plated ground. The legend TREASURES OF ANCIENT EGYPT arcs along the upper border in raised Latin letters. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The canopic jar series was part of a broader wave of novelty-format collector issues that Cook Islands licensed to European minting houses in the early 2010s — a revenue arrangement common among small Pacific sovereignties with no meaningful domestic coin circulation. These pieces were never intended for any transactional purpose and were distributed almost entirely through European and North American dealer networks.
Gold-plated copper of this weight dates quickly at contact points, and known examples already show copper bleed at the highest relief edges.
