| Reverse description | The central field features a richly detailed composition evoking ancient goldsmithing traditions: a stylised bearded male face, reminiscent of archaic Mesopotamian or Aegean gold masks, occupies the upper left, while to the right a finely engraved ancient gold pendant or ornamental object is depicted. In the lower centre, a winged Egyptian deity — rendered in the manner of a pectoral scarab or goddess figure with outstretched wings — dominates the composition, flanked by sceptres. The background field is filled with a repeated microtext inscription reading THE HISTORY OF GOLD. The arc legend GOLD IN THE ANCIENT WORLD appears at the top, the date 2018 below it, and THE HISTORY OF GOLD is inscribed in bold lettering across the lower register. |
