| Reverse description | A stylized frontal depiction of Osiris, the ancient Egyptian god of the afterlife, dominates the field, his head turned to the left and adorned with the distinctive atef crown. The deity is shown holding his traditional royal regalia, the crook scepter and the flail, crossed over his chest in the classic funerary pose. Decorative floral motifs adorn the lower portion of the field. The legend SECRETS OF EGYPT arcs prominently along the upper periphery in raised Latin letters, with a plain border encircling the design. |

The Osiris series from the DRC has become a reliable vehicle for sub-half-gram gold miniatures aimed squarely at the collector bullion market — a category that expanded sharply after 2010 as mints and licensing operations sought low entry-point gold products. The DRC's role here is nominal; these are struck under contract arrangements, with the issuing authority lending legal tender status to what is functionally a privately marketed product.
