| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylised depiction of the Egyptian falcon-god Horus dominates the field, shown with broad outstretched wings in a heraldic pose, the body rendered in fine relief with detailed feathering. The Horus eye symbol is prominently displayed at the centre of the composition above the falcon's body. Decorative lotus flower motifs appear along the lower exergue beneath the figure, referencing ancient Egyptian iconography. The arched legend 'SECRETS OF EGYPT' curves along the upper rim above the figure. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Democratic Republic of Congo has issued a steady stream of small-format gold pieces aimed squarely at the collector bullion market, and this Horus issue sits firmly in that category. These fractional gold coins carry no meaningful domestic monetary function — the face value is nominal against any real economic measure in the DRC, where the Congolese franc circulates in paper form only.
Horus was among the most widely venerated deities in the ancient Egyptian pantheon, his worship documented continuously for over three millennia.
