| Reversbeschreibung | The reverse depicts a finely engraved scene after an ancient Egyptian Amarna-period relief, showing Pharaoh Akhenaten seated on a stool to the left, wearing the Blue Crown (Khepresh) and a pleated kilt, raising a small child toward his face in an affectionate gesture. Queen Nefertiti is seated opposite on an ornate throne to the right, wearing her characteristic flat-topped crown adorned with a diadem and uraeus, and clad in a finely striated linen robe, while holding a second small child on her lap. The intimate domestic composition is characteristic of Amarna art, with the figures rendered in raised relief against a deeply mirrored proof field. The border consists of a decorative segmented rim. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Egypt's commemorative silver program of the 1990s drew heavily on Pharaonic subjects as the government sought to position the country as heir to its ancient civilization during a period of aggressive cultural tourism promotion. Akhenaten is a peculiar choice for state commemoration — his reign was systematically erased by successors who dismantled Amarna, chiseled out his name, and buried his memory for over three millennia.
The rediscovery of Akhenaten as a historical figure is largely a product of late 19th-century Egyptology, beginning with Flinders Petrie's excavations at Tell el-Amarna in 1891.
