| Beschrijving voorzijde | Left-facing portrait bust of Queen Nefertiti rendered in the ancient Egyptian profile style, wearing her characteristic flat-topped cylindrical crown with horizontal banding. The engraver's monogram appears in the upper left field. The circumferential Latin legend reads MATER OPERUM ATQUE ARTIFICIORUM AEGYPTUS, with the date 1961 divided and placed to the right of the bust. The portrait is executed in high relief with smooth fields, evoking the famous painted limestone bust of the queen. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The "Aureus Magnus" series was a privately issued fantasy piece produced in West Germany during the early 1960s, not an official Bundesrepublik emission. These large gold medallions were marketed to collectors under quasi-numismatic branding, with denominations and issuer attributions designed to suggest legitimacy they did not legally possess. The "10 Ducats" designation carries no monetary authority — ducats had not been a recognized German currency unit for well over a century by 1961.
The Nefertiti subject was commercially shrewd: the Berlin bust had been a sensation since its public debut in 1924 and remained a flashpoint in Egyptian-German diplomatic disputes over repatriation.
