| Reverse description | Central polychrome colored depiction of the Egyptian goddess Isis rendered in the traditional pharaonic style, shown kneeling with her large, fully spread wings raised and outstretched to either side, rendered in rich shades of blue and green. The goddess wears a headdress and an ornate jeweled collar, her arms extended upward at the wingtips. The central motif is set within a recessed inner circle against a light-toned field, surrounded by a broad gold-plated border ring decorated with a series of relief-carved ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic symbols. The legend 'TREASURES OF ANCIENT EGYPT' arcs along the upper border in raised Latin capital letters. |
