| Reverse description | A detailed, realistically rendered sacred scarab beetle (Scarabaeus sacer) is depicted in high relief at the lower center of the field, pushing a large dung ball across a rocky desert surface. The scene is set against a richly colored panoramic background featuring Egyptian pyramids at right, rugged desert mountains at left, and a dramatic orange and gold sunset sky with a gilded sun disc prominently positioned above the horizon. The series logo DESERT LIFE appears in a cartouche at the lower left of the scene. The inscription .999 FINE SILVER 1 OZ is engraved along the lower rim in the exergue. |
