| Reverse description | A bust of the Egyptian deity Atum, depicted in the guise of a pharaoh wearing a striped nemes headdress and holding a crook sceptre, occupies the left and central portion of the field within an oval cartouche. Panels of Egyptian hieroglyphics fill the right-hand field, evoking an ancient papyrus or temple wall inscription. The series title GOLDEN EGYPT appears in bold Latin lettering at centre right, beneath an ankh symbol encircled with the name ATUM. The fineness and weight inscription .9999 FINEST GOLD 1/100 OZ is engraved along the lower exergue in Latin characters. |

| Additional information |
The "Atum" designation places this piece within Burundi's ongoing bullion and collector series drawing on ancient Egyptian iconography — an unusual thematic choice for a landlocked Central African nation with no historical connection to the Nile Valley. These issues are produced for the international collector market, not domestic circulation, and Burundi has leveraged its mint licensing agreements to release dozens of such thematically eclectic gold pieces since the 2010s.
At 0.311 g of .9999 gold, this is fractional bullion at its smallest practical extreme — roughly one-hundredth of a troy ounce.
