| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field depicts a stylized frontal portrait of the funerary mask of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh Hatshepsut, rendered in low relief with fine engraved detail capturing the characteristic nemes headdress and serene facial features. A decorative frieze of stylized Egyptian lotus flowers and foliage runs along the lower portion of the field. The legend 'SECRETS OF EGYPT' arcs along the upper rim in raised Latin lettering. The overall design evokes the aesthetic of ancient Egyptian royal funerary art within a plain circular border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Hatshepsut ruled Egypt for roughly twenty years in the 18th Dynasty, yet her successor Thutmose III systematically defaced her monuments and erased her cartouches — an act of damnatio memoriae so thorough that she was essentially lost to history until the 19th century. The Democratic Republic of Congo has no historical connection to pharaonic Egypt whatsoever; this is a bullion-adjacent collector piece issued under the DRC's surprisingly prolific numismatic program, which licenses foreign-themed designs primarily for the European collector market.
At 0.5 grams of .999 gold, the intrinsic metal value dominates any numismatic premium.
