Reversbeschreibung The reverse features a large central rectangular color insert depicting an ancient Egyptian scene, showing two figures in a richly ornamented interior with hieroglyphic wall decorations rendered in gold and blue tones, evoking the treasures of Tutankhamun's tomb. Surrounding the color insert is a decorative border composed of alternating blue and gold segments interspersed with fine milled details, evoking Egyptian artistic motifs. Below the central image, a row of Egyptian hieroglyphic symbols — including an owl, a bird, and an ankh cross — is prominently displayed in the field. The bilingual legend 'WONDERS OF EGYPT · MIRACLES D'EGYPTE' arcs along the upper periphery, with the Eye of Horus motif centered at the top, and the date '2012' inscribed at the lower field.

Zusätzliche Informationen

The BCEAO issues commemorative silver outside its normal fiduciary mandate through licensing arrangements with European minting firms — this piece was almost certainly produced by a private mint for the collector market rather than struck for circulation in the eight member states. The hieroglyphs theme has no particular connection to West African monetary history or to the BCEAO's member economies, which is a recurring pattern in this series: the issuing authority lends its name to coins designed entirely for international numismatic sales.
